Conditions might not have improved if the Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle" hadn't been published. The book, released in 1906, exposed the horrendous working conditions and unsanitary practices within the meatpacking industry, leading to a public outcry and ultimately to reforms in labor laws and food safety regulations. Without this exposure, it's possible that the conditions would have remained unchanged for a longer period.
