Factory Conditions and Labor Unions

Factories Very poor conditions for workers Very hot and not a lot of air circulation Not very many safety measures in place to keep workers safe Many workers exposed to dangerous machinery, especially children Many children employed because they could fit between machines Led to them getting very hurt or worse Usually worked at least 12 hours a day Poor conditions led to many accidents, like the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, where at least 114 women died in the sweatshop from a fire

Coal mines

Slums

Tenement Housing

Labor Unions Created to protect and help the workers Tried to get better pay, better working conditions, better hours Did this by Collective Bargaining: the process where wages and other working conditions are agreed upon by the workers union and the employers Labor unions exist, even today, for about every occupation

Strikes
