While many of the workers who protested unfortunately lost their original jobs, the movement proved how effective job actions like strikes can be. It also proved how much can be accomplished when the public and politicians works together to achieve the same goal. For the years following the strike, workers were not afraid to form worker’s unions so that they may seek their shorter work weeks in large groups. The protest, now known as the “9 Hour Movement” because of their demand for a shorter work day of only nine hours, inspired workers across the country to demand for better working conditions .
