Factory Workers Then and Now


The important circumstances that affected employees at Nike and at the Triangle factory are that in the Triangle factory the workers were going through very bad labor conditions and also there were many injuries and deaths because of the machines that the people were handling. The employees at the Nike factory did not suffer as many injuries and deaths, However, they were paid very little money. I say that the workers at the Triangle factory were working under many harsh conditions. As a result, there was sickness and injuries.
I can compare the circumstances of the employees at Nike to the employees at the Triangle factory because the employees at Nike work just as hard as the employees at the Triangle factory but at Nike, they don't have any deaths or as many injuries as there was in the Triangle factory.

My opinion upon regarding the situation is that at the Triangle factory the workers went through very hard times at the factory but at Nike it is different because the Nike workers had work that was very easy for them to do. The Triangle factory workers had harder jobs to do. Also they had longer work hours.
