The Factory Act
Reformers are championing improved working rights for factory workers who are often subject to seamless exploitation, inadequate protection, and low wages. Any attempt to alter the current situation is expected to face opposition and potentially have adverse effects on economic growth and productivity. Nevertheless, we risk an exodus of workforce if the situation does not improve.

23581historical_info = flavor_eng.230.historical_info The Factory Act was a major piece of legislation in Britain and marked a turningpoint in the efforts to improve working conditions and protect the rights of factory workers, especially children who would otherwise work for most of the day for little pay. The act introduced age restrictions, educational requirements and factory inspections, and forced factory owners to improve general safety as well as keep employment records.
