Employers had no compassion or empathy for their workers who slaved away in their factories. Because immigrant labor was cheap, it was often exploited by the employer. Workers tried to better the situation by unionizing and have a show of strength with the numbers of workers. The big businesses, used government support to suppress the organization of strikes or work revolts. However, when unions rised up and demanded fair wages, employers would have to consider these demands and negotiations would have to take place.
The laborers felt they held no influence in politics therefore they weren’t concerned with them. After time, the farmers’ and the laborers’ involvement in the national politics took on different roles. The farmers started at the bottom and worked their way upward. The laborers, who had no political power or influence, threw themselves into the center of the political world. Although the North and South labor forces didn’t see eye to eye, they did help to establish ways to limit those in the corporate world in ways that surprised and scared the capitalists.
Corrosive Packaging will more than likely prolong the process of the NLRB decision on the union. If the employees win the election they have to accept the union and bargain with them, but unionization will not come to corrosive packing with open arms. The workers have a right to unionize and companies have to let works unionized if the majority of works want it and have signed off and if a union election is won. 3.

Priestly wants to make them change and realise that this is wrong. J.B Priestley uses the character Mr Birling to illustrate the treatment of the lower class people in Nineteenth Century. He highlights this through Mr Birling where we learn that Mr Birling doesn’t care about the lower class people and the workers in his factory. Mr Birling says: “Have you got any idea what happened to her after that?
[…] ‘Right up her ass!’ ‘Did you hear?’ ‘Did you hear what he said?’ ‘Right up her ass!’” (Golding 149). Roger kills the sow by pushing his spear through it’s anus. This shows destruction of not only spirituality, but also civilization. The British gentleman is said to have a proper decorum and it is seen to be disappeared completely in this situation. Last but not least, destruction of spirituality is seen through the event; Simon’s murder.
Political activists are killed, anyone who attempts freedom or has an idea is killed or they “die defending [it]” (McTeigue). When a controlling government comes into power they get rid of anyone who does not conform to their idea of a master race. “Immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals, terrorist, disease

Braverman presents an argument against what he regards as the degradation of work and the de-skilling of the labour force which is a result of the inhuman aspects of capitalism (Kanungo, 1982). The three terms, alienation, bureaucracy and de-skilling shall be explained, and the degree to which these conceptions are still applicable in modern day work organisations and industries. In the theory of alienation, Marx shows the damaging impacts of capitalist production on the workers(Ollman, 1976) by distinguishing four forms of alienation. Firstly, he argues that workers do not control the process of their work because they do not own the means of production that is necessary to manufacture a product. The worker has no role in deciding what to do or how to do it.
As a result, they have no option to not work as they have a poor status in society and work under capitalism is poorly paid, alienating, unsatisfying and something workers have no control of. These two systems are the systems that Marx disagrees with and wanted to change as it is creating conflict between the two classes. He wanted the proletariat to recognise this exploitation and demand higher wages, better working conditions and for the whole capitalism to stop. Furthermore, the Marxist, Louis Althusser has a theory of the role of education as being an important ISA. The ideological state apparatus, which is one of the two elements, that Althusser believes in maintains the rule of the bourgeois by controlling people’s idea, values and beliefs.
