The factory system changed how things were made, but it also took advantage of workers and created very tough conditions for them.

Problems Workers Faced:

• Very long hours and very little pay
• Unsafe places to work
• Kids working long hours with no rights

Because of these problems, workers started to come together in labor movements. But their fight for better rights was often pushed back by factory owners and the government.

Possible Solutions:

• Coming together to form unions
• Pushing for better laws
• Telling the public about the issues

By standing together and speaking up, workers can hope to get fair treatment and safer working conditions.
