good [Music] and hey guys it's ok with you in this class let's talk about working class organization continuing that sequence of classes about the Industrial Revolution and all that ugly ok but before mass wow don't forget to subscribe to our channel and leave your like because it helps the channel to grow a lot So now that you've subscribed, you 've left your like let's see in the early 18th century the English weavers who were the people who worked with fabric there started to organize the first associations labor the old craftsmen converted into salaried workers in
the manufactures founded small clubs with the intention of having a salary increase however only with the great Factory industry strong and organized associations emerged that started to represent a threat to the entrepreneurs to the grass is one of the most important forms of resistance to the factories was the action of the machine breakers some of these groups became well known as for example from the region of lanchar who will act between 1778 and 1781 another very well known group is one of the buddhists that appeared in the beginning of the decade of 1810 they fought
against the long journeys and poor working conditions also depended on the creation of labor laws and other issues and a curiosity that can be commented on is the reason for the ludist name the name was given as a reference Midland that it was the workers who would have released the break movement there these demonstrators in general they invaded the factories at night and destroyed the machines They were violently repressed and some of the leaders ended up arrested, tried and even executed Exactly that some of the historians consider that and they were Courageous more naive because
they attribute the origin of their problems to the machines and not the owners of these Marks for these authors the machine breakers they failed to perceive the profound change in industrial capitalist production and the new strategies of class domination but more recent research tends to associate Buddhists with a radical and conscious reaction against the system according to this aspect, the main intention of the Shopkeepers was to show that the factory was not the only or the best way of organizing work and also share Remembering that for you to understand this class well, it is worth
watching the other classes on the Industrial Revolution and the daily life of Industrial life because that way you can understand in a much easier way beyond all that I've already mentioned in order to combat the exhausting routine and the tragic living conditions the work he faced look at the workers the workers began to gather in associations called trailers or also known as unions the central objective of the union was to organize the Workers' struggles to win wage increases reduction of working hours regulation and limitation of child labor holidays and paid weekly rest however labor associations
in England were prohibited in 1799 even so, many will continue to exist underground and illegally in 1824 the functioning of the union ceased to be illegal in 1871 these organizations were finally legalized this process ended up strengthening the English labor movement that they claimed to All those issues that I have already discussed with you to conclude let's talk about Chartism the guy and he was born in London in 1838 and ended up acquiring a National proportion the movement he started when the workers' association sent the letter to the English Parliament the people want a document
in which they demanded the Secret Vote Universal male suffrage the right of Workers to stand for seats in Parliament among several other days the petition this written request from the workers received more than a million signatures from workers for it to be accepted however the English Parliament he refused to approve the letter this generated a wave of strikes and demonstrations around 1840 the movement he presented another petition much more radical than the first one that I commented on in addition to the meanings that I already commented on this new document demands an increase in wages
reduction of the working day this new petition it received about 3.3 mg it's just for you to have an idea and there was more than half of the English male population at the time and little by little the workers' struggles took effect labor laws the 19th and early 20th centuries improved working conditions in factories and mines English beyond to strengthen the struggle of Workers from other countries So this was our lesson on the struggle and Workers organization I hope you enjoyed it and see you next time one [Music]
