Sweated Industries
The sweated industries is a term used for poor working conditions in factories and different workplaces. Child labour laws may also be repeatedly violated. Roughly between 1850 - 1900 these 'sweated industries' were most popular, it was mostly children that they used to work in these factories because they were cheap labour. During this time there was a famous photographer who sneaked into these factories and took photos of what was going on inside these factories. His name was Lewis Hine.
