How did workers respond to the changing demands of the workplace in the late nineteenth century?

In the late nineteenth-century factory workers responses to poor factory conditions by intentionally decreasing their production output and by breaking their production machines, while others quitting their jobs and search work in other factories and most of the workers joining to an organized labor union by protesting. Some just simply stay at the factory and endured the hardship of their works.
