The Steelworker’s Background

The earlierst years

The background of the union started a long time ago, with the beginning of the industry. Hundert of years ago, the workers had to work hard for their money with their own hands. The mood was good and the most of them liked their work. The handicraft had been forwarded from generation to generation. At this time, there were no problems. The workers could fed their families and had a happy life. But then came the industrial revolution and the good times ended.

The Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution were the importenst issue at this time. The men were replaced by machines and so many, many workers became unemployed. The workers were happy about the relief at the work, but the fact that many men became unemployed casted a big shadow over the new and “good” machines. The education played a bigger issue. Money became the most importent thing in many lifes. One family were rich and the next hadn’t anything to eat. The pride of the families and the handicarft wasn’t importent anymore. The friendship and the honest work of the men were futile.

The Steelworker’s background

The Industrial Revolution brought many anger with it. After the generally overview, we will focus on the Steelworker’s backgorund after the Industrial Revolution. The Steelworker’s history played in the smelters in sirius. The task of the men were to porduce and to process the steel. In the smelter ruled a clear hierarchy: the boss, his consultants, the overseers and at the end the simple workers. Many men were happy because they found a job in the smelter but all the hope turned to dust. The salary were very bad and so the job were not enough to fed a whole family. Many men fell in depressions and the hate and anger against the bosses and overseers grew day by day. The machines treated like men and the men treated like slaves although the bosses advertised the work in the smelter as a good payed job and not like a place in a slavery. In the smelters ruled a aggressive and despaired mood. No one had the courage to spoke one’s piece or to bridle. So, no end in sight!
