working conditions

The working conditions in the late 1800's were terrible. People who worked in factories were treated poorly. They had to work long hours, no holidays off, Only had sundays off, and kids were forced to work with there parents because the pay was so little they didnt have enough to buy food so they had their kids work. Also in factories the owners didnt have proper fire exits, so if a fire started you had a pretty good chancce you were going to die.
