Walter Gordon Merritt highly favored the “open shop” because he believed it allowed for union members and non-union members the opportunity to be employed. They had the chance if they were non-union members to join the union once employed as well. There was no discrimination against either unionist or non-unionist at “open shops” which was the great thing about them. Merritt believed closed shops “means closing the doors of industry to all but union men and closing transportation and the markets…

A lot of people think about people who work mundane jobs and how they can do that every day. But the question is does that person take pride in what they do, whether they are a pig farmer or a major brain surgeon. Some people would look at a mundane job and say that it has no purpose and not look twice at it, but saving lives doesn’t make…

Laws on child labor have changed greatly over the years. Around the late 1700’s and early 1800’s- also known as the Industrial Revolution- child labor was common and accepted. However, now a child has to be at least 14 (more commonly 16) in order to work. The importance of education has been amplified since then, which contributed greatly to making the child labor laws more just. During the Industrial Revolution, child labor was extremely common. Child labor was convenient, because children…

During the time from the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution to 1900 in Britain and the United States, the most significant changes in industrial and technological development would be the shift from extreme working conditions, including child labor to an improving American workforce with better wages and better working conditions.
