Hardships for Industrial Workers

Working in mines and factories often could be dangerous
Dangerous working conditions made some workers sick
To make matters worse workers injured on the job
Usually had to go without pay until they were back on their feet
Employees would become so desperate to receive their wages that they would have to file formal requests
