In the late 19th century, most working people suffered long hours, low pay, and hazardous conditions at the hands of their employers. Despite these conditions, many refused to join had been organized to light for better treatment of workers. They feared they would lose their jobs, as employers often found some reason to fire such "trouble- makers." Imagine you're working in a cotton mill or a coal mine in the late 19th century. Your family needs your income to help put food on the table and keep the roof over your heads, but you work long hours in dangerous conditions. You work 14 hours a day, six days a week, and have seen co-workers lose lives and limbs on the job. What would you do if some- one asked you to join a labor union to fight for better working conditions?
Would you join, even if it meant you might lose your job? Or would you refuse to join, and accept your employer's unreasonable demands?
If someone asked me to join the labor union I wold join. Even though it may put my job on the line. The employers unreasonable demands need to be stopped. The injuries and abusive behavior are not even put to court. The many workers that are injured are silenced before they can speak.

OKAY BUT DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE QUESTION TELL ME .
DeleteCindy Mai 802
ReplyDeleteIf someone asked me to join a labor union to fight for better working conditions, I would ignore them because its considered as a bribe when the union wanted things their own way by using a "bait" to lure other people to join the union. I would not join even if it meant that I might lose my job and accept my employer's unreasonable demands because it's too risky. Also that if I joined the union, it's not a guarantee that you will get better working conditions and since you already have a job, why won't you just stick to it for now, and wait until the right time to come for you to change the job? By waiting until the right times comes, you will have a better chance and a higher possibility that you would have better employers and better working conditions.
As following your logic ; does it mean that your job is more valuable than your life? People had been suffering and getting killed by the terrible working condition . What if people protested successfully? How would they look at you? People would think you betrayed them . -Jason 802
DeleteOKAY THIS MEANS YOU CARE AOUT YOUR JOB YOU DONT REALLY ABOUT YOUR WORK CONDITION .
DeleteIf "Some-One" asked me to join a labor union to fight for better working conditions, i would be really confident to join and help them out.Even if that protesting isn't the best way to solve the problems but the working conditions of some factories is way beyond the point of accepting it. Yes, even if i would lose my job , i would join since people suffered from terrible working condition , they got sick, killed , not enough sleep , and some damages that would affect their life or their families life. If our protesting successfully got out working condition better , everything might be worth it . Peoples life would be much more easier . -Jason Lin 802
ReplyDeleteI would say sure because any rule that dosent have killing or death in it is better than being hurt in the factory. I would join even if I lost my job because then people that owned workplaces would start to take notice of having better working conditions and other jobs would improve. That means the next job I apply for would be better.

Deletei agree but your explanation is too short it need more details
DeleteIf were asked to join a labor union I would join. I would join because it fights for better work conditions. With better condition there will be less deaths and less people getting sick. It would improve with less pollution and less accidents happening inside the factory. If I join the union I would a risk of loosing my job but it would be a better cause. The union would bring many great improvements toward the factory. - Jocelyn N. 802

If someone asked me to join a labor union to get better conditions at work i would join them.Even if it meant the possibility of losing my job.I would get better working conditions and my job would be a lot safer.This way other workers would also have the courage to fight for less dangerous conditions at work.Adrian a. 802
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, i would totally join a labor union fight for a better working conditions. It is because, who would want to work for 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, and sometimes loosing lives or a part in your body? Because i do not. We may know that people needs money in order to live. But, working for that much amount of time wouldn't help to have more money. Its just more work. Children's need to work for so long, without education or even free time to play. when i was a child, i was probably watching Tom and Jerry..Even though if i joined a labor union to fight for better working conditions and will lose my job, it's okay because you can just find another job, and can have much better working conditions. We can just work for about 9-10 hours a day, WITH rest time. Also after , you wouldn't be "losing your body parts" or getting injured .
ReplyDelete-Ruiting 802
i totally agree since children need their educations , childhood , and much more advantages than adults. Besides , they dont have that much power to work . They have a limit too , its too dangerous for them to work too. -Jason 802
Deletewe wouldn't wan to join a labor union to fight for better working conditions even though we really want to because what if we did go on strike and they still don't do anything , we'd lose our job.

Yes , worrying for your own risk is the correct choice , but the risk of yourself getting killed could be just as high of you losing the job that has terrible working conditions . -Jason 802
Deleteok in a way i agree with you but what if you get killed in your job who would support you're family its all about the dangerous conditions in the job
Deletegood job ms sheena and natalie but why did you guys do it together.
DeleteIf someone asked me to join the labor union i would say yes. i would join because the demands are unreasonable and they cant be stopped unless we try to stop them. they abuse us and when we get hurt they don't do nothing about it they just replace us. it shouldn't be like that it should be when we get hurt they help us pay because we got hurt in their company. even though it would put my job on the line better than having a horrible job.
ReplyDeleteMelyna Reyes 802
I agree with you because, when we help them do their work , and we did something wrong, they just hurt us. The company's owner should just tell the workers that next time, to focus better, and not hurt us..

In my opinion,I would join a labor union.I don't care if i do lose my job as long if the union is successful.So yes,I would join a labor union even if I DO lose my job.But somehow,the union was successful and labor laws were passed on with no more working hazards.- Clemente Casco
ReplyDeletei would join the labor union even if id lose my job,because i would want better conditions to work and also have more rights and safer conditions to work in.Even if i lose my job because id rather lose a job than a limb.Id rather stay alive then lose a body part or my life.I feel like the union helped alot of the workers but couldnt help anyone else because most of the workers would lose their jobs than the union couldnt help them anymore.Azma 802
ReplyDeletewe would not join the factories if we were asked to join because we would not want to risk our lives. To begin with, there is dangerous conditions in were the kids can awfuly get ingured or loose a body part. Additionally, we will be missing out on our education, instead of working and putting our lives at risk e can be educated and have a better future. by Anis and Sipro
ReplyDeleteif someone from the labor union asked me to join and fight for better conditions i wouldn't join. If i do join and fight for better working conditions it means i have to lose my job and i wouldn't want that to happen. What if we go on strike and nothing happen it will just be a waste i would lose everything. Yes if i dont join the children will have worse conditions but i would lose my job if i join and i would need the money to feed my family. Maybe some people could go on strike and fight for better conditions but i wouldnt join
ReplyDelete-azmain
DeleteDoesn't necessarily mean will lose your job, however, there is a good chance that it would happen. I can appreciate your concerns and reasoning
DeleteIn my opinion I think that i wouldn't join because of the fear of losing my job because it is to risky I can't lose my job because what is i have a family to support and i have no money I cant risk myself. Jennifer 802
ReplyDeleteI would for sure join a labor union to fight for better working conditions . I would be benifiting me and my working life . I would have a much safer for me to be working there in a clean and safe enviorment. If it meant loosing my job i would still join because id rather lose my job than lose my life over a job.I would be doing something good for myself , and help myself.

ReplyDeleteYou would still join knowing that doing so could possibly lead to being fired.
DeleteIts ok
DeleteIf someone asked me to join a labor union, I would join. Of course I would hesitate because I would have a family to think about. If something were to happen to me who would help and support the family. The working conditions needed to get better because the low pay wouldn't be worth it because it barely would support the family. The labor union would help a lot with my life and possibly save lives.

Deletei would join a labor union to make the working condition better.

If someone asked me to join the labor union to fight i would agree to fight. Even though choosing to fight means to loose our job i would still choose to fight. i would fight because if im complaining about working for 14 hours and in 6 days then other people might be complaining too.And if a lot of people is complaining then we would most likely win.Therefore we would change some rules.

ReplyDeleteI think that I might join the union in one condition in which will make me stay neutral, so, I wouldn't be in trouble for both of them. I would join the union but also keep my job.

If my friend asked me to join the labor union I would refuse. This is because if I do join i would lose my job and not make money for a while. Instead to fight or protest, i would ask my friend to do it for me. This way they could get fired and I won't. Also i could still earn money while they're protesting. (I get it I'm mean). If the labor union's protest and fights don't work then at least I am still working and earning money. Sometime the worker union might get arrested for fighting and that's another reason why I wouldn't join. I wouldn't want to et arrested.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to get arrested*correction*

DeleteI wouldn't join because there would be a big risk of me losing my job. i need the money. it's too important for me too keep my job. I wouldn't be able to keep my job and i would barely survive in the world. even if someone persuaded me to do it i still wouldn't. It to high pressure.

DeleteIf someone asked me to join the labor union to fight the factory owners then I would join because according to the text it states "You work 14 hours a day, six days a week, and have seen co-workers lose lives and limbs on the job." I would fight to have the conditions and pay of the factories to be better. I would join, even if it meant I might lose my job because the treatment was very unfair and if i didn't try to fight to fix them it wouldn't get better for any of the workers. - Coco and Edita 814
ReplyDeleteIf I had the chance to join the Union i will refuse to join because it better to suffer than to lose a limb, arm or even life just for those ridiculous believe that we can reach a better working condition. The chance of reaching it would be small, life is way important than money. If i join Union i wouldn't even have the money to survive so i would refuse to join because i would lose a job and get no wages. there is a Chinese saying "No zuo No die Why you try"
ReplyDelete-Qing Yi, Cindy 814
Qing Yi haha
Deletesuffering by working is almost the same as loosing a limb.
Deletederrick
what are you laughing???
Deleteshung
derrick but at least i won't lose my job
Delete-Qingyi, Cindy
derrick you know that no zuo no die???
DeleteIf someone asks me to join the labor union, then I would join because, even though it may cause my job, it is worth it. Working 14 hours a day, 6 day a week is too much, plus joining the labor union not only can help me, but it can also help all the people who are working long hours in dangerous conditions. This way, people can work in a better condition with a more fair paid if the labor union success.
ReplyDelete-Vina Weng 814
good for you ,but, first ask your parent if they want you to do that
Deletewe disagree with you because it not worth it to die with no job because even if there is a better working condition you got no job what is the point.
Delete-Qing YI, Cindy 814
okay ba
Deletei would join the labor union because workers need a better condition to work in the factory otherwise they might get hurt that can make him unable to work. factory owner don't want to change the conditions but it is necessary to change. and to make it happen worker have get together and they have to go against to the factory owner.
ReplyDeleteyou need to write your name next to the answer.
DeleteIs some one called me to join the labor union to fight of better life,but i may lost my job,then i will decide not join the labor union.Is because ,i work is not do for myself ,is for my family they need my work to support their "NORMAL"life. If just because of me make their live become harder then,its better just stay the same.That's good for everyone.
ReplyDeleteTiffany Zhu 814
They didn't have a "NORMAL" life
DeleteTo them,that is the NORMAL life
Deleteisn't it "if" not "is" in the first sentence
Deletei will join the union to fight for better working condition because i have to work 14 hour a day and 6 day a week.i will join even if it meant that i will lose my job because if everyone go the people will have no worker since everyone lose their job. i rather lose my job then be under unreasonable demand if more people were to do so the owner will have no worker and they will want us back so i will join and convince other to join others to join which can make a change to these unreasonable demand and working hours.

Deletebecause no zuo no die mean if you don't do it you will not die so why try but i try and will not die either
DeleteIf someone asks me, then i would join a labor union to fight for better working conditions because in the late 19th century, most working people suffer long hours and low pays. I have seen co-workers lose lives and limbs on the job, which is very sad. Something has to change! I would join, even if it means I would lose my job. Working in a cotton mill or a coal mine is dangerous. If the labor union can stops it, maybe less people will die or get hurt. -Li Zhi Lin 814
ReplyDeletedid you see the co-workers
Delete...?!
DeleteI will not join the labor union. Because I need money for my family, to keep them alive and healthy. Even if it meant that I will work 14 hours a day. Plus there are many other workers that will join the union, and they might make the conditions better without me. The safety of me and my family stands before anything else.
ReplyDeleteIvetta Binyaminova 814
If someone ask me to joined labor union to fight for better working condition i would join them because we work long hours and in harsh condition and we got pay less.In this harsh condition if we don't fight it, we will still have danger in factory and more people died.Even if i might lose my job it is worth a try to bring better condition to everyone and to fight for what right.
ReplyDeleteJon Li 814
If someone ask me to join the Labor Union i would join even if it means i lose my job because I believe that if we work for the owner, they should treat me the way we should be. We shouldn't be working in harsh condition and earning only a little each day working up to 14 hours and 6 days a week. We shouldn't also see many people around us with missing parts on our body. We should have the right to have a safe environment to work in and have an fair amount of pay giving by the hours we work in a day.
ReplyDeleteFanny Chen 814
?
DeleteWhat do you want to say.
DeleteFanny 814
But thinking about it even if there really is a better condition than before but you got no job so you didn't really help yourself
Delete-Cindy, Qingyi
What if we won and we got a job that has better pays?
DeleteFanny 814
If someone ask me to join the labor union even though i would lose my job, I would still join. I would join because I work 14 hrs a day without any breaks. Many people have died working in these harsh conditions because they did not fight for whats right or wrong. I would not put up with these unreasonable working condition and fight for whats right. If i lost my job i could get another job-Angela zhang
ReplyDeleteIf anyone asks me to join the labor union, I would accept them. I would try my best with all my strength to get a better working condition. This is the only way to consistently get the right and decent amount of money for my family. Working in bad conditions might make it unfair for me for a very long period of time. I just need to be careful for any bad consequences. If I do not join the labor union, others will still attempt to get what they want. Therefore, our job will still be affected. In this particular situation, it does not matter who protests to make it a dangerous attempt. This is a matter where who can get caught to make it dangerous. However how much dangerous this is, it will still be worth it for all of the workers. - ETHAN BUGNA 814
ReplyDeleteIf someone asked me to join labor unions, then i would accept because the conditions in the mills/ factories are too unreasonable. Yes i would join even if it means loosing my job because the tireless hours and days on the jobs are too great for anyone to endure. The risk is for the greater good because the dangerous machines has killed many people already and if they dont do anything about it i could be next. To add on, theres no family to support if youre dead.If the labor union is successful in their goal, i get to have an opportunity in a safer and better working enviornment. Its worth the risk, would you want to work for 14 hours 6 days a week and do nothing about it?
ReplyDelete-Derrick Tsang 814
GOOD JOB :) GUESS WHO I AM
DeleteOMAHGODA. SO be a uuuuuuuu ti fuullllll!!!!!
DeleteIf some one asked me if i rather join the the union for better conditions i will say yes because of many reasons. Some reasons are if i work 14 hours straight i would be really tired.It also says that many workers got seriously injured including limb loss and even lives.Also I would have to work 6 days a week one day isnt enough for a break.I would join the union even i lose my job because this is the only chance to make my working space and hours better if not there is no other way to rebel.The work also has many demands which i disagree with so i have a chance to argue about it. AHSAN CHOUDHARY 814
ReplyDeleteIf someone asked me to join the labor union I would join the union because I don't want to work long hours everyday. The factories are really dangerousand they have terrible conditions for kids under the age of 14 so I would fight for my rights and freedom. If it still meant I would lose I would still join becasue I want to be the one who fights for things and NEVER gives up. I want to be the one who always tries because without fighting in life you cant do anything. Without money people will starv to death and without money you cant create a life.-AZIZA 814
ReplyDeleteIf someone ask me to join a labor union,I would not only agree, but also ask more workers to fight for a better working condition. No worker would agree to work under a terrible and dangerous condition without ever want to change it. On the other hand, if majorities of workers are going to attend the labor union, the employer can not just fire every person who attend because it will lower productivity and make him lose money. 233333333333 by Chaojin Zheng 814
ReplyDeletewhat does the 23333333333
DeleteIf l was ask to join to fight for better conditions, l would because if this protest and we win then we could earn more money than normal and I might work in a better condition. Even though I might lose my job while protesting, l will still try t protest. Also a reason l would protest is because working in a factor is also dangerous so l would risk my life trying toget a higher pay because working in a factory is just trying to risk your life so i would rather protest for higher pay.
ReplyDeleteJason Zhang
If someone asked me to join the labor union, I would join because the working conditions are very bad and dangerous. Also, you have to work long hours and barely get paid. I would hesitate in making this decision because there can be many problems caused like i can lose my job but many people suffered from the terrible working conditions. Some people died, got sick, didn't get enough sleep and more. Therefore, I would try to help these people even if i lose my job because people lives would be easier.
