Why did workers organize strikes in the early 1800s?

Because work conditions were awful and pay was minuscule, forcing them to live on the streets or if they were lucky to live in a small box of an apartment. Owners abused their authority over their workers and because of this, the workers attempted to fight back. This was not met with friendliness, however, when the owners hired soldiers to wound and kill those who went strike.
