English Textile Factories Dbq

I do not think that the English Textile factories were a good place for the health of the working class, because it was not a safe environment, there were a lot of little kids working machines, the workers of all ages worked for very long periods of time a day (5 am to like 10+pm), and also they got beaten at the factories. The English Textile factories were horrible with the health of their workers, kids of the age of 5 and older were working and they would hurt themselves or even others on accident because they were so young and did not have that much knowledge or experience of how to work the machines, But honestly, who expects a 5 year old to know how to work a machine like they had back then in the factories? Also back to the little kids, they got hungry and tired more easily than the adults did probably. Because they were so young, they usually got naps every now …show more content…
At factories, it was not a rule that you were to be beaten, but most all people who worked at the factories expected to get beaten. They were also forced to lie to people who asked them about the factories. And they always lied because they knew that if they told the truth, they would be severely punished. But back then, their was no labor laws that said how long someone had or could work, how old you had to be to begin working, and stuff like that. It was also illegal to go on strike. But workers did anyways because their needed to be a change in the working conditions. After all of the striking and protesting for a long time, labor laws were finally made that gave a child a certain age before they could start to work, they gave them the hours that they were to work weekly. And because of those things, it cut back the injuries of the workers. And that is why I believe that the English Textile factories were a bad place for the health of working class
