“Shuddering moans, groans, creaks and rattles,” (62) that’s how loud the atmosphere is in the textile mill in Lowell, Massachusetts. The air is very murky, so it is very hard to breathe. This is the scene described in Katherine Paterson’s novel, Lyddie. The main character is Lyddie. She goes to work in the textile mills for better pay in hope that one day, she’ll finally pay off the debts of her farm and bring her family together. But, it might seem too good to be true. Which in reality is the truth. The working conditions in the mill are very challenging and difficult. Just like all the other factory workers, Lyddie is fatigued every day after working for 13 hours without taking a single break. She can’t even drink water or take a fresh

Lyddie is being so overworked that she can’t even take the time to read her most favorite book because she’s exhausted. The working conditions are also dangerous to the point that it even states this on page 101: “There were no deaths on Concord Corporation, but one of the little Irish girls in the spinning room had caught her hair in the machinery and was badly hurt.” The equipment at the factory isn’t the safest, and it is hazardous for the workers to be surrounded by the machinery and use the faulty instruments, that could possibly put them at risk of

All of the workers who worked at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory were very young and were not treated well. They were all around 15 years old and were mostly Italian and Jewish immigrants. Their work was 7 days a week and 12 hours a day. For all of this work and time, they were only paid about 6-15 dollars a week which is not a lot of money. Lunch was their only break during the 12 hour day and it was for just a half an hour. However, during the factories busy season, their work was basically non stop and even more demanding. Also, in some cases, they were required to bring their own supplies including needles, thread, irons and sometimes even their own sewing machines. Surprisingly, around 500 people worked there every day.

The workers had to share a room with someone they had never met. Sometimes the owners would cram up to 40 people into a room. Everything that they did was strictly regimented, from the time they ate to the time they went to bed and woke up.

Young girls and women worked thirteen hour days, six days a week in extremely hazardous, unsafe conditions (Tindall & Shi, 2013). As the number of mills grew and competition increased, the Lowell Mill workers were expected to work harder for lesser amounts of money and fewer benefits. Suffering from less pay, harder work, and additional pay decreases, the Lowell Mill employees organized strikes to combat the treatment they were receiving (Tindall & Shi, 2013). Having to organize themselves to protect the rights they had originally expected; a formal education, exposure to culture, and the opportunity to use this information to enhance and improve their lives in the future, was lost when they had to endure the unpleasantness of factory

The first downside to working in a factory in the 1800’s is the outrageous hours that men, women, and children have to work. They can work up to fifteen hours in a day, and many workers fought for a full day of work to be considered ten hours at most. This problem in the industry affected every worker physically, because if a worker got very few hours of sleep, then the next day his work ethic would not be at his full potential. That could then cause their boss to fire them, and hire another man who is stronger and more willing to work. An incident like that happened to Jurgis. He worked so hard to keep his family fed, then he had to take time off of work due to an injury. (Sinclair 116) When he tried to come back to work, they replaced him

The employees had horrendous working conditions that they had to endure because their pay was needed to support their family. One example, “[Before] dawn my labor drives me forth, Tis night when I am free;” (Document 2). This parent works all day and night, thus never able to spend time with their son. Therefore, the son has been able to have a roof over his head due to his parent’s paycheck yet never get the affection that he desperately demands. In addition, Elizabeth Bentley testified, “C: You are considerably deformed in person as a consequence of this labour? B: Yes I am” (Document 7). Working conditions today are, luckily, much better with laws regulating associations from engaging people to do painstaking, fatal assignments and operations. Yet, they did not have sympathy for the people at this point because the public desired more money and cheaper goods. According to Lewis Hine’s photo, “the children stood on top of the machines near

Colquitt, J., Lepine, J., & Wesson, M. (2013). Organizational behavior: Improving performance and commitment in the workpla

Organizational commitment is one of the two individual outcomes derived from individual mechanisms like job satisfaction, stress, motivation, trust, justice, ethics, and learning and decision making. These mechanisms and outcomes can be found on the integrative model of organizational behavior (OB). Colquitt, LePine, and Wesson defined organizational commitment in their Organizational Behavior 5th Edition book as the desire of an employee to remain a member of the organization (p 64).

Breakings through the chains of corporate slavery is in full affect. In other words, nobody wants to work for a heartless corporation that does not value their staff. Individuals are educated and ready to make a career change if necessary. The overwhelming feeling of being imprisoned by a job is dreadful. Even the most loyal captive will seek an opportunity to break free from a dreadful organization. The sensation of being confined within an organization with no room to grow or expand is a daunting feeling. When individuals are treated as if they do not matter, it raises the question; why stay here? If employers are naïve enough to think that there are no other options for hard working people, they are wrong. The information being

Many may argue that job satisfaction and organizational commitment are the same, but they are actually different.
