    In the nineteenth century the working class had many struggles and hardships. Not only was the day-to-day life extremely strenuous outside of work, but while they were at work the employees had a set of precise rules to follow and abide by which were written by their employers. Some of these rules seem unclear to me because of how long ago they were enforced. But a lot of the rules are the same as rules for a workplace now. Just by reading the seventeenth chapter in our textbook, The West in the World, and a set of nineteen rules and regulations from the article, "Rules of a Factory in Berlin." I have learned, assumed, implied, and suggested many unsaid views of working the standard eleven-hour day in the nineteenth century.…

    Factory Reform

    • 888 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The absurd extent that some laws went to to benefit the factory owners over the employees can be demonstrated by a single provision of the Labor Law, regarding the permitted number of people on a floor in regard to space. The air space provision simply states that there must be a minimum of 250 cubic feet of air space per person. In perspective, the floors are usually at least 10 feet high, so a room may comply with the legal requirement, while completely not improving the congestion on the floor. This law ignores floor area, which makes an extremely overcrowded reality completely legal, and common. Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor and a member of the Factory Investigative Commission, effectively stated that the…
