Question

what was the primary goal shared by most major labor strikes in the late 1800s and early 1900s?
to completely overthrow the capitalist system and establish worker - owned factories
to establish international trade unions and eliminate national labor organizations
to improve working conditions, establish shorter workdays, and secure better wages
to gain control of individual companies and remove all management positions

Explanation:

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, workers faced poor working - conditions, long hours, and low wages. Labor strikes aimed to address these issues. The more radical goals like overthrowing capitalism or taking over companies were not the primary focus of most strikes. Establishing international trade unions was not the main goal either. The main push was for better working conditions, shorter workdays, and higher wages.

Answer:

To improve working conditions, establish shorter workdays, and secure better wages
