A. 12 hours a day, six days a week.
Because of it was a new era in manufacturing, industrial, companies soon swept over the market. One individual does not have much say in an entire corporation. But the entire workforce may have more leverage in the corporation that the corporate it's self. Thus when unjust wages and hours were enforced, the people needing what little money they could get. Labor Unions were formed.
At the Okaya Silk Factory, the employees were allowed fifteen minutes for lunch, between 10.30 and 10.45, and a ten-minute break from 3.30 to 3.40.
Even though the conditions in the factories were clean, warm, and free of the climactic elements, <u>they were kept on the job till 7.30 p.m.</u> for a total of fourteen hours and twenty minutes. The workers were kept until 10 p.m. when the plan was particularly busy.
Hope it helps!
