Which of the following best describes the impact of labor reform both in the united states and in great britain during the 1800s? reforms ended the need for unions, as conditions for workers had improved. reforms resulted in laws that put an end to all child labor by 1900. reforms led to gradual improvements in working conditions for everyone. reforms had no impact, and working conditions remained the same.

I would say the correct answer is C. Reforms led to gradual improvements in working conditions for everyone. At the very beginning of the 19th century, at the height of industrialization, labor movements were illegal and workers who tried to form trade unions or labor unions were persecuted and oppressed. Thanks to their continual struggle, the conditions did improve for everyone: the working hours were cut shorter, certain rights were granted, children were no longer exploited as workers, the position of women workers improved generally. However, it doesn't mean that unions aren't needed anymore. They will always be needed as regulators, to prevent any further attempts at exploitation.
