Historian 1:

Although most Victorians (men, women, and children) worked long and hard jobs that required physical labor but there were “laws to regulate hours, wages, safety, job security, and working conditions.” (Sally 41) Laws against trade union was developed and “allowed labor to make some significant improvements, especially in working hours and wages.” (Sally 41) Workers had Sunday off and “short Saturday” in which workers are dismissed during mid-afternoon.

Historian 2:

The fast-developing conditions of the 19^th century increased the opportunities for “men on the make”. Employers make their workers work under harsh conditions, “to indulge in such abuses as payment of wages” and “exploit cruelly” (Kitson Clark 91). The author described the relationship between employer and employee as “the small master and the man who worked at his elbow.” (Kitson Clark 91)
