I wasn't aware of the miserable working conditions in these factories until then. It also interested me because it was in New York. My grandmother did piece work, but she did it at home so she didn't experience anything like this.

I can't believe the owners had locked the doors to the stairwells and exits. WTF?!<br /><br />And you're right, while most American factories have improved their conditions, many overseas have not.<br /><br />Anyway, enjoy tomorrow. I have to work, but I did have today off.<br /><br />X ya, Sis!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816289202422790791.post-46135498387651199722014-08-31T16:48:19.084-04:002014-08-31T16:48:19.084-04:00What an interesting read!

Figures, right. Well, some good came of it, improved working conditions... although as you mentioned, that's not the case everywhere. :(<br />Thanks for sharing. <br /><br /><br />CrystalChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778302473630157009noreply@blogger.com
