Working conditions at the 1800s
My life experience during the time of 1800s working at a factory like " The Triangle Factory" with the 21st century technologies that I will bring should be a computer, phone, camera, film and some utilities that can help me with an easier work at the factory. Sadly a figure out that many people don't know how to use it or I can´t because of sources at the 1800s.
Everybody knows, working in a factory is hard; because the stuff i have to do like cutting, fixing,or even making specific clothes by hand several times. Is tired; because i have to work hours with out stop until a break which can be at noon for lunch and the end of the day which is the end of work or sometimes at busy days I work with out break.
Exploited, is what I think most employees included me, feel about how hard and long we work for a very low paycheck. $9 per week, is what I earned starting from early morning 7:30 am to 6:30 at night or even more at busy days.
The most uncomfortable feeling for me to work at The Triangle Factory the is the pressure of my supervisors; because I need money to survived I have to work as many hours as I can and also try to make the clothes as fast as I can at really bad conditions. One of the many bad conditions are how crow I feel with the other workers and the temperature inside the building is hot. That I how is my feelings traveled back in time to the 1800s work conditions.
Also ,most people feel insecure at The Triangle Factory, because of the unsafe conditions. Such as, if I want to scape of a fire, I can only scape by going to one of the two stairs in the building. At 1909 started the strike of the woman´s union, the International Ladies´garment Workers (ILGWU) which represented women in clothing factories. The demands were poor working conditions included unlocked doors during working hours with safer fire escapes and low payment. The strike was not total successful, it made factories cut hours but still they made them work harder. At 1911 was the biggest tragedy in history ¨fire on the Triangle Shirtwaist factory¨146 woman were kill, that had made people think about the working conditions more.That had happened after I felt the factory.
The opinion, of my experience at the 1800s is clearly difficult with new technology or with out it, like machinates. Because of the irregular hours doing hard job for low paychecks and doing it at bad conditions made me think that the working conditions here are really tough and people here need to survived and just do their job if they want their paychecks. However the big tragedy had change the conditions of factories.
