Labor vs. Management

The goal of the lesson today will be to show how workers had to come together and unite to get changes in their lives. We will do this through pictures, posters, songs, and poems. We will look at some of the methods workers used to make changes.

What Can the Workers Do To Improve Their Situations in the Factories? Workers could go on strike and the factory owners could –A. give in to the demands of the strikers. –B. fire all strikers and hire new ones. –C. wait until the workers gave up and returned to work. Why would workers go on strike? 1. Increased wages 2. Gain more control over working conditions

Strength in Numbers Workers want to organize permanently and they felt being part of an association would help them. These associations became unions. Problem with Unions 1. They were against the law. Combination Acts of 1799 stated that persons who united with others to demand higher wages, shorter hours, or better working conditions could be imprisoned.

Government in England Helps Out Workers 1825 Parliament passed a law allowing workers to meet in order to agree on wages and hours 1870’s passed law legalizing strikes.

Labor Song DUMP THE BOSSES OFF YOUR BACK By John Brill Are you cold, forlorn and hungry? Are there lots of things you lack? Is your life made up of misery? Then dump the bosses off your back. Are your clothes all patched and tattered? Are you living in a shack? Would you have your troubles scattered? Then dump the bosses off your back.Are you almost split asunder? Loaded like a long-eared jack? Boob--why don't you buck like thunder And dump the bosses off your back?All the agonies you suffer, You can end with one good whack-- Stiffen up, you orn'ry duffer-- And dump the bosses off your back.
