What was the effect of labor reform movements in the early 1800s?

Labor reform movements in the early 1800s raised awareness of harsh factory conditions and pushed for limits on working hours and other improvements. These changes came gradually, rather than unions immediately winning better conditions. Reform was also underway well before the 1940s, so C, “Reformers gradually won better working conditions, but change was slow,” is the best answer.
