Question

how did early british labor unions succeed in their efforts to create labor reform?
a. by electing upper - class citizens to represent the unions in parliament
b. by launching a socialist revolution based on the ideas of karl marx
c. by striking and protesting even when such actions violated the law
d. by destroying new industrial machines and burning factories down

Explanation:

Early British labor unions often resorted to strikes and protests as a means to demand labor - reform. These actions, even when illegal at times, put pressure on employers and the government. They did not elect upper - class citizens to represent them in Parliament in the context of labor reform success. There was no socialist revolution based on Marx's ideas in early British labor union efforts, and destroying industrial machines and burning factories (Luddite - like actions) were not the main way they achieved labor reform.

Answer:

C. By striking and protesting even when such actions violated the law
