Most of the workers were treated quite badly as the conditions needed to make the products had to be often very warm, and dry. child labour was common as they were very cheap to employ. their parents couldn't afford to feed them if they didn't work. Workers had to work extremely long hours with often little or no breaks and the work they had to do was often menial, boring and extremely uncomfortable.

not all factory workers were so mean though as robert owen owner of new lanark mill in Scotland would not allow children under 10 to work. he provided nice clean homes for his workers, and a school and many more things. he restricted working hours to 10 hours for 10-12yrs and 12 hours for 13-16. he was a good factory owner .

if a worker was sick, there was no paid day off. in fact they were fined 6 shillings if they could not find someone to replace them!

there was no compensation. if a worker was injured, they didn't get paid, they had to work with the injury or leave the mill.

i hope this helps.

How did trade unions force factory owners to talk to them?

As the industrial ages moved forward, more and more workers came to the cities to work in factories. In nations such as England, France and the US, labor unions were made legal. the unions represented the workers. If company management did not fairly treat its workers, a union could call a strike and then factory owners and the union heads could speak to each other to resolve the strike.
