Answer:

Edit where you want :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The workers were the lower class who did miserable dirty work. There were children working in the same terrifying conditions. They could lose limbs and life for very little payment. This was borderline slavery because they couldn't not take the jobs because if they didn't they would starve and there were no better jobs. It was an endless loop of poverty that the owners profited off. They didn't treat them well because there was no consequences for treating them badly.
