Unfair pay for workers, including wage cuts, was a leading cause of strikes and riots during the Industrial Revolution. Workers often faced harsh working conditions, long hours, and low wages. As industrialization progressed, there was a growing awareness among workers of their rights and a desire to improve their working conditions. This led to labor movements, strikes, and sometimes violent protests as workers sought better pay and improved working conditions.
