INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

DANGER OF WORKING IN FACTORIES

• If you put you limbs or fingers in the wrong place they would most likely be severed off
• Without the invention of respiration masks you would inhale the linen fibers from the making of cloth and it will build up
• Physical punishment, to speed up production

LONG HOURS OF WORKING IN THE FACTORIES

• Very little pay, to almost no pay
• Too many hours, all day work shifts. Ex: 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, if not later
• Very little breaks in the day

CHILD LABOR

• Children were hired most
• No pay for them, thus more money for the employers
• They would buy children from orphanages and force them to work
• If they had gotten hurt no one would care

WORKER STRUGGLES

• Unfair wages
• Small increments of money for pay
• Workers had little rights. Would be punished for taking a small break.
• Would be fired for very small things. Such as if you had a child you would be fired
