Aim: Keeping the Industrial era in perspective, why did reform movements arise? (Continuing with yesterday’s work) Title: Living and Working Conditions Do Now: 1.Please hand in your homework. 2. I need volunteers to advance to the front of the room to list [write] at least one point connected to yesterday’s in-class chart [the handout.

Today’s Focus: Will examine how these conditions brought about reform as people tried to improve their lives throughout the Industrial era.

OBJECTIVE 2 1.Based on your analysis of this section, what motivated humanitarians to try to reform the workplace? 2.Living in the 21 st century I want students to suggest their own ideas for reform of specific current working &/or living conditions, or are today’s working/living conditions just great/perfect the way they are? What do you think?

Novels/newspaper articles that revealed the terrible conditions in factories and mills; church ministers, philosophers and economists sympathetic to the poverty-stricken laborers.

The Labor Movement

Changing Employee-Employer Relationships  Domestic system Workers and employers knew each other personally Workers could aspire to become employers  Factory system Workers no longer owned the means of production (machinery) Employers no longer knew workers personally ○ Factories often run by managers paid by the corporation Relationships between employers and employees grew strained

Problems of the Factory System Factories were crowded, dark, and dirty Workers toiled from dawn to dusk Young children worked with dangerous machinery Employment of women and children put men out of work – Women and children were paid less for the same work Technological unemployment – workers lost their jobs as their labor was replaced by machines

Poor Living Conditions Factories driven solely by profit – Businesses largely immune to problems of workers Factory (also company or mill) towns – Towns built by employers around factories to house workers – Workers charged higher prices than normal for rent, groceries, etc. Workers often became indebted to their employers Created a type of forced servitude as workers had to stay on at their jobs to pay their debts – Considered paternalistic by workers Some employers had workers’ interests at heart But workers wanted to control their own lives

Slum Living Conditions Factory towns – often built and owned by factories – Not a strange concept to rural-to-urban migrants who were used to living on a lord’s estate or property – Full of crowded tenements – Few amenities Tenements – buildings with rented multiple dwellings – Apartment buildings with a more negative connotation – Overcrowded and unsanitary Workers were unsatisfied both inside and outside the factories

Slums of Urbanization

Child Labor

Poor Working Conditions

Urbanization

OBJECTIVE 3: In your notebooks answer the following question. Why do you think the first labor unions were formed? What impediments were there to the formation of unions throughout much of Europe? What changed this situation in Great Britain?

To try to get better wages and working conditions through force of numbers Gatherings of workers were illegal in many countries. Parliament repealed the Combination Acts and then made strikes legal.

The “arrival” of unions = grand changes/reforms

Weapons Used by Unions and Employers Weapons Used by Employers At-will employment Blacklists Company unions Individual bargaining Injunctions Laws that limit union activities Lockouts Open shops Outsourcing Relocation Right-to-work laws Threat of foreign competition Welfare capitalism Yellow-dog contracts Weapons Used by Unions Boycotts Check-offs Closed shops Collective bargaining Direct political action Favorable labor legislation Feather-bedding Lobbying Picketing Sabotage Strikes Union label Union shops

British Labor Achievements Year(s)Event(s) Combination Laws: Outlawed unions and strikes Disraeli Reform Act: Suffrage for workers Repeal of the Combination laws; unions and strikes legalized. Union membership grew as a result Labour Party: Founded by bringing together different groups representing trade unions, etc Taft Vale Decision: House of Lords ruled that unions would have to pay financial damages caused by strikes (such as loss of income to employers), which threatened to end Britain’s unions. After 1901 Labour Party: Worked for workers’ rights. (Other major British political parties were Liberals [Whigs] and Conservatives [Tories].) 1906 Trade Disputes Act: Protected union funds from the Taft Vale court decision. Achieved by Liberal and Labour parties working together Osborne Judgment: Banned trade unions from donating funds to political parties. Hurt the Labour party because poorer, working class party members could not provide salaries to party’s elected representatives Parliament Act: Stopped the House of Lords from vetoing laws passed by the House of Commons. Paid members of parliament an annual salary. 1920s Labour Party: Surpassed the Liberal party in power. 1940s-1950s Social security: Labour party government brought increased social programs, including socialized medicine, along with government control of several industries (electricity, steel, television).

Legal Protections for Workers Limited hours for women – Later – equal pay for equal work Eventual end to child labor – Schools and requirements for school attendance grew as children were removed from the workforce Health and safety codes Minimum wage Legalization of unions

Rights of Female and Child Workers  Women and children could legally be paid less than men for the same work Factory owners were more willing to hire them Male workers grew resentful  English child laborers England had a history (going back to the 17 th century) of training pauper children (even those younger than five years old) in a trade Poor children followed their mothers into factories  Early male-dominated unions fought to banish women and children from the workplace Eventually this strategy was abandoned Women eventually won right to equal pay for equal work Though women today, in reality, still earn less than men at the same types of work

Social Insurance/Security Type of Security FranceGermanyGreat BritainItalyUnited States Accident By various state laws Sickness By various laws in some states Old Age Unemploy- ment Socialized Medicine (Universal Health Care) Medicaid for the poorest citizens in the 1960s; under Pres. Obama, conservative reforms set for all in 2014

Post-Reading Quick Check 1. Unions: By being organized and creating associations called unions, workers felt that their protests would be more successful. The unions planned actions and combined the demands of different kinds of workers in the same factory. 2. Strikes: Workers protested working conditions and low wages by refusing to work until their demands were met. 3. Collective bargaining: Factory owners acknowledged that the union spoke for all the workers. Management and union representatives discussed wages, hours, and working conditions. Agreements were written into contracts
