“Workers in the New Factories had to suffer cruelty and ill treatment.” Do these sources prove that view to be correct? “Workers in the new factories had to suffer cruelty and ill treatment.” This is what I have to decide upon. If it did happened or didn’t. Do these sources prove this? The working hours that the workers had to do were horrendous. At the busy point of the year they had to start at 3 ‘0’ clock in the morning, and did not finish until ten to half past at night. They were only allowed to stop for a quarter of an hour for breakfast, half an hour for dinner and for drinks quarter of an hour. On the 16th March, 1832, there was a bill introduced into parliament proposing that all people of 18 and under can only work 10 hours a day. This caused a lot of trouble for the adults that were working in the factories though. Because the children weren’t working as many hours, the adults had to work the one’s the children were missing.
