ProfessorThe introduction of machinery, such as the cotton gin and steam engine, revolutionized work in factories, increasing production and efficiency. The Factory Act of 1833 in the United Kingdom introduced regulations regarding child labor, limiting working hours and improving working conditions for children in factories. Additionally, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 in the United States established a federal minimum wage and maximum working hours for factory workers.

Compliance with these statutory acts is mandatory to ensure the well-being and protection of workers in factories.
Were the workers in the industrial factories treated fairly?
clearly not..they had unfair work..low pay..high wages..lots of hours each day and the conditions that existed in the factories were unsafe and dangerous. The workers were not treated correctly at all and formed labor unions to revolt. These revolts later led to many acts from the government.
