As it turned out, supported by numerous up-and-coming nobles and capitalists, the Union developed much faster than Lu Yan had anticipated.
In just over half a month, more than eighty thousand workers joined the Union.
In the past factories, it was considered quite conscientious for factory heads to pay salaries on time and not to deliberately delay payments.
But with the arrival of the Union, factory heads began to improve working conditions, reduce worker exploitation, and even offer compensation for workers injured on the job, an unimaginable dream life for the workers.
Moreover, workers who joined the Union were safeguarded from further exploitation by other gangs.
Within the industrial district, more than a dozen gangs were nearly eradicated in just half a month, leaving only those backed by noble connections or protected by Transcendents.
Thus, the entire industrial district was purged in a short span.
