Factory Workers 1800s

 

 

 The wealth and power of factory working in England  became a issue for them. The amount of time they spend working was between 13-15 hours every day, working sometimes the whole week, working in horrible conditions. Some of these workers were beginners or never trained to working the machines and were given position into working them. They usually got into a bad injury. And if they became injured, then they became unemployed and try making a living in the streets. In the Factories it was harmful to work in factories since many of them worked with chemicals, while the air was deadly and toxic, making women children disfigured or disabled when born. When working near machines, they were able to affect the hearing since the early machines were loud having to be near it for 14 hours. The difficult job out for factory workers were mining, having to deal with coal and stem power. 

 As them being workers, they basically was more under control then having their own kind of freedom. When they will work they worked through those 13-15 hours straight doing the same job. The factory job was always the same, making things to seem more dull, working with the same functions everyday. Many of the workers of the 19th century were of young children and women, having the ability to being skilled using the fingers. They worked in coal mines, as children did their job in cleaning the machinery. Since they were more weaker, they were easier to have more control over and command them to do different things without refusing to do so. But even though they worked for many hours doing hard work and taking orders, they were not paid that good. Children began working at the age of 7. Even though the economy at these times went up, it did not add up to the amount that the workers deserved. There payment use to go up, but for slowly, while items at stores continued to increase. During the 19 century, the factory workers in the U.S. were not being treated fair being both women and children having to work in their hands for many hours and many days during the week.
