What were working conditions like before the labor movement? Why were businesses allowed to keep workers in harsh conditions before the labor movement?

(5 points)

Before the labor movement, working conditions were often harsh and unsafe. Workers faced long hours, low wages, and lack of protection or benefits. Businesses were allowed to keep workers in poor conditions primarily due to the absence of labor laws and regulations. There was little government intervention or oversight to ensure the well-being of workers, and businesses prioritized maximizing profits over worker welfare. Additionally, workers had little bargaining power due to limited job opportunities and the threat of being easily replaced.
