8 Progressives and Workers Progressives sympathized with industrial workers but had little understanding of their plight Supported unions attempt to improve working conditions but opposed strikes Pushed legislation to protect workers Scientific Management Many innovations, high supply of workers, laissezfaire government meant low pay, unsafe working conditions, lack of union success Factories stressed efficiency and profit Frederick Taylor: Scientific management Progressives supported efficiency Union Movements Unions were against Scientific management because it reduced importance of worker 2 million unionized by 1904 (75% in AFL) AFL represented skilled craftsmen and ignored unskilled and women Companies continued to win battles in early 20th c. 8

9 Danbury Hatters Case (1908) Supreme Court stated that unions were subject to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act Unions could be held financially liable to businesses during a strike Number of strikes dip Progressives did little to help unions but did help workers Tried to improve working conditions Women in Workplace 5 million by 1900, 8.5 million by 1920 Ignored by most unions (1.5% in unions in 1920) Women s Trade Union League founded in 1903 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Many women in NYC garment industry yrs old, of Italian or Jewish descent 56-hr weeks $6/week Over 600 shirtwaist factories employed 30,000 workers Stress on scientific management led to overcrowding, women renting machines, paying for electricity, breaks minimized, safety shortcuts due to costs 9

10 Women strike! 1909: Women want better pay, working conditions, don t want to costs Mass strike in 1909 Strikers fired, arrested, etc. Government support of factories meant they did very little to improve working conditions Rosa Schneiderman, Garment Worker Child Labor 10
