In the late 1800s how were industrial workers treated?

Industrial workers in the late 1800s were often treated poorly and given little respect by their employers. Factory owners and managers had near complete control over their workers' lives, dictating what they owned and where they worked, with minimal wages and long hours, as well as dangerous working conditions. Industrial workers also faced discrimination based on race, gender, and class. Women and minority workers often faced harsh treatment and unequal wages compared to their male, white counterparts. To make matters worse, workers lacked basic rights or representation, leading to few resources to protect their safety and interests.
