The Combination Act
The appalling conditions of the factory workers have been considered a necessary evil for some time to allow for the rapid expansion of our manufacturing capabilities. Recently, workers tired of what they believe to be inhumane treatment, are attempting to join forces and collectively bargain for better pay, improved safety, and fewer hours.
Repressive measures may be necessary to combat this pattern of behavior or we risk derailing the rapid industrialization taking place across the country.

24489historical_info = flavor_eng.238.historical_info The Combination Act was passed during the early stages of the Industrial Revolution when workers were forming trade unions to address poor working conditions, low wages, and long hours. The act aimed to criminalize any form of organized labor action and favored employers and factory owners, but met with significant opposition from factory workers and some parliamentary support. Eventually, a change in attitude towards workers' rights led to the repeal of the Act.
