Description

Explore the historical roots of labor rights with this academic study from Routledge. This book examines the social, economic, and moral importance of sweating and the origins of low pay legislation in Britain. It investigates how long hours, poor working conditions, and low pay defined the sweating system that affected a large portion of the British workforce. By the turn of the twentieth century, government estimates suggested that up to one-third of workers fell into the category of sweated labor. This text tracks how these conditions prompted the government to consider new legislation to address the issue for the first time in a century. It is a detailed look at the history of labor and the development of minimum wage concepts within the Studies in Labour History series.
