The Shutting Down of The Munitions Factories
After WW1, the need for ammunition such as; bullets, artillery and other explosive/ballistic weaponry became near obsolete. The munitions factories began to shut down causing a lot of workers to go into poverty/unemployed at the least. A lot of common workers found it hard to make ends meet.

The Low Worker Wages Most workers that were hired during the war were hired in bulk, thusly they were given low paying wages. As the low wages were causing a problem to the working class things got worse as the higher up had the "Brilliant" idea of raising food prices as to gain more money. As prices went higher wages stayed the same making budgeting the equivalent of a tight rope walk due to how slim your budget.

Union Strikes When the workers had enough of the ludicrous way the were supposed to live their life Workers had the idea that one of them may not be able to influence the higher ups, but if they banded together they could force them to at least listen to what they had to say The way the workers tried to force them is they would walk out of work and cause the factory to loose all production for that day
