About This Book

The author surveys the daily lives, labor conditions, and social implications of diverse working groups — rural laborers, textile and garment workers, miners, steel and transportation workers, makers of luxuries, seasonal and casual laborers, industrial women, and child workers — using contemporary investigations and case studies to illustrate persistent principles. Chapters describe industrial routines, health and moral consequences, and economic vulnerability, then turn to the responsibility of faith communities and social institutions to advocate for humane adjustments in industry. Practical suggestions and reflections aim to inspire young readers toward public service and social reform.
