In this picture it shows little kids working in factorys that has big micheanery, back then kids were able to do this work in factorys but now it against the law to hire kids under the age of 15 but ypu have to be over 18 to work in factorys. owners used to hire young kids because they were willing to work long houres, and do the job faster with little pay.

It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label. " -Barack Obama
 * Quotes-** "

This quote is about all the laws that were made for workers, back then workers were taken advantage of they were being forced to work as long as there boss wanted them to and get payed what ever the boss wanted to pay them, and the work envirement was bad. Work got so bad at times that people died, EX= the women that worked in the factory were locked in intel the job was done, when day the factory set on fire so the workers couldnt get out, the doors were locked so they all died.



as production increased, businesses needed more workers. from 1900-1910, nine million immigrants came to america to work. 1902-1908 4,700 people died.

=**Obama video on Unions**=

main idea- unions are what are pushing employers to do the right thing and give good pay to the workers because the workers are the ones helping make that money.
