Robber barons, often referring to wealthy industrialists in the late 19th century, typically provided harsh working conditions in their factories. Workers faced long hours, often exceeding 12 hours a day, with minimal breaks and low wages. Safety measures were often lacking, leading to dangerous environments with high rates of injury and fatalities. Labor unions emerged in response to these conditions, advocating for better rights and working environments.
