USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -First, workers formed local unions in single factories. These unions used strikes to try to force employers to increase wages or make working conditions safer. These unions did not have enough power to dominate business owners, so workers formed national unions.

Detailed explanation-2: -As the factories grew and workers became more specialized, additional teachers and trainers were needed to pass on specialized skills. In addition, the housing, transportation, and recreational needs of factory workers resulted in the rapid expansion of cities and towns.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the textile industry, factories set hours of work and the machinery within them shaped the pace of work. Factories brought workers together within one building and increased the division of labor, narrowing the number and scope of tasks and including children and women within a common production process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Working conditions were difficult and exposed employees to many risks and dangers, including cramped work areas with poor ventilation, trauma from machinery, toxic exposures to heavy metals, dust, and solvents.
