Just by reading the short article I realize how awful it was for the poor back in those days. I also realize that conductors during the Victorian Era is pretty much was just a taxi service like in todays time. Pretty much taxi drivers still work early mornings and late nights just like the conductors were doing back then, But to continue to read about the workshops during that time and the awful working conditions and under pay really made me mad but I know that the people then had to make money some kind of way to support themselves as well their families. At least now the pay has gotten much better even though some may still say the pay could be better especially for the kind of work most factories be doing. Factories is pretty much just workshops or sweatshops in todays time. The good thing about it now is that the working conditions is much better and the workers has a place to go to report anything that is not state regulations. And kids can no longer be forced into working now and have the chance to get the proper education. But I do think that major companies are taking jobs over seas trying to save money because they can pay lesser money to the workers or possibly do not have to offer benefits or overtime to the workers.
