Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth analysis of "sweating," a term used at the time to describe a system of sub-contracting in certain industries where middlemen ruthlessly exploited workers for maximum profit, offering wages that were barely enough to survive on. The author delves into the historical evolution of the sweating system from its roots in the industrial revolution to its widespread presence during the late 19th century. The book meticulously documents real-life accounts of the deplorable conditions endured by workers, highlighting the excessive working hours, unsanitary workplaces, and poverty-stricken wages that characterized this exploitative system. The author emphasizes the significant role of factory legislation and the efforts of social reformers in gradually improving working conditions and establishing minimum standards for wages and sanitation. By exploring the causes and consequences of sweating, this book sheds light on the historical struggles faced by workers in their quest for fair and humane working conditions, offering valuable insights into the ongoing fight for workers' rights.
