The information of the article confirms some conditions described by Clara Lemlich such as the lack of protocols and space inside factories.
By the beginning of the 20th-century industrialization grew and expanded in the United States. This change implied the need for more workers and production. Due to this and other factors, working conditions during this time were not the best. It was common:
- Children had to work.
- Workers work for 10 hours or more.
- Wages were low.
- Accidents were common.
These conditions were reported by many during this time, this included the "Preliminary Report" by an investigating commission and an article written by Carla Lemlich who led the women's labor movement. Because the historical and geographical context was the same Lemilich confirmed some details about the conditions described in the report such as:
- Neglection of human factor: The safety and welfare of workers was not considered as production was prioritized.
- Lack of protocols: Lemlich confirmed there were no protocols related to emergencies especially fire scapes, safety, hygiene, etc.
- Lack of space: Lemlich confirms the space inside factories is very limited due to machines and workers.
Note: This question is incomplete because the report is missing; here is the name of the report the question refers to:
