Ah, so you see them as intentionally misrepresented by the media, and not fighting progress but instead fighting against the unsafe standards of the time?
A movement formed in response to job theft, and at the same time, lack of safety laws. Started because of child deaths in the newly forming industrial machining factories (literally btw, crushing most often)
And they did win, in the end, under a new name and organised group, with the same goals. They're why child labour laws exist, and why there's maximum work hours per week, and legally mandated holiday time.
