These jobs could involve working with dangerous substances that damaged their health, operating or servicing machinery with no regulations in place to protect them from injury or death, or working long hours in poor conditions with little pay. There were no provisions for protecting workers and they could be fired without notice or compensation at the whims of the employers.
