Workers felt disconnected from their work as instead of a single, experienced crafter, the assembly line workers preformed a few simpler, specific operations. The simplicity of these operations and that you didn't even have to get up, meant nearly anyone was qualified. For the worker this meant that wages were not competitive and if they resisted the conditions and injustices, they would just be replaced.

With the rise of service work being outsourced to China and India has come something new for Americans: for the first time ever, educated U.S. workers are competing with educated but low-paid foreign workers. Despite the public concern about this development, though, there has been almost no rigorous research on the subject.

“One advantage of making the tasks breif was that every job could be learned quickly. Not only could virtually anyone work at Ford; workers could be moved around. Most jobs required almost no training. Managers found that blind or disabled individuals could do certain jobs just as well as anyone else. The company did a comprehensive analysis and found that there were 7,882 different jobs in the factory. Of these, only “949 were classified as heavy work requiring strong, able-bodied” men. Another 3,338 jobs could be done by anyone in ordinary physical condition. The “remaining 3,595 jobs were disclosed as requiring no physical exertion and could be preformed by the slightest, weakest sort of men.”29 In fact, 670 could be done by legless men, 2,637 by one-legged men, 715 by one-armed men, and two by armless men.”

Cited from 29, Ford, My Life and Work, 108.

“There would be work for everyone”

“He didn’t say, but surely he knew, that blind or one-legged workers seldom quit. Healthy workers without disabilities were more likely to flee the repetition of the assembly line.”

While the effects of these new systems and push for profit in no doubt hurt the workers greatly, not everything about it was bad. This second industrial revolution did so much good for the country and people as a whole, wasn't it worth some people suffering at the bottom for the benefit of the nation at the top? In the case of Ford and other big businesses, systems like the assembly line greatly increased the affordability and therefore expanded their availability of their products to a greater spectrum of people with different economic and social backgrounds.
Meanwhile, these systems in place involving the radium factories and push for fast production, reflected American's interests and aspirations in using the newly discovered materials and incorporating such thought to be incredible and positive into every aspect of life. In this way it was the ignorance and quest for improvement in America that workers risked their lives to encourage, again for the betterment of the entire nations rather than themselves. They argued that there was no greed, instead the quite opposite, they were selfless and optimistic. Wanting to help improve the lives of everyone else in the country. But in-fact they did profit greatly off of the factories, as Ford did with his Model-T.

It was only so long until the effects of exposure to radium became evident and the workers started getting sick and dying. Even so, it took a while for the companies to admit there was a connection and only implemented simple restrictions like not lip-dipping or eating in the same area. Finally, the girls stood up and brought it to court for the sake of the others around them and also in the industry, hoping to gain some sort of compensation by getting a settlement. This was difficult and there was a long court case, the lawyers were also expensive and the girls had little money. This did lead the way in creating various acts and protections for workers and their occupational health, along with specifically the cease in the use of radium in everything and these factories.

Labor in factories, while commonly perceived to be exclusively men working in automobile assembly lines, especially during and following WWI, also included women. A famous example in particular was those who worked in the dial factories, painting radium on to watches so that they glowed. While it should be noted that in both lines of industrial work, both mental and physical health of the workers was jeopardized, the physical is that which is most predominant and memorable in the case of the Radium Girls. For those who owned and managed the factories, understanding of the materials and safety precautions were also disregarded in the interest of these gleaming new products. They painted on the radium and in the workplace had many habits that made their exposure to the toxic substance that much worse.  At the time, no one even knew of the deadly effects it could have and it was used everywhere and in everything.

While the assembly line positively impacted big businesses who were striving for a way to mass produce large quantities of products, it equally negatively impacted the workers who were actually assembling them. The qualifications required to work these jobs were limited greatly and while this could be seen as a good thing, it made them feel disconnected from their work as anyone could do it and they only spent a few minutes on each. They also got bored, repeating the same process over and over again, for many hours at a time without rest. They got paid decently, but the stress it took on them was much greater and didn't compensate for their exhaustion and inability to speak up, as a wife of a worker argued.

Henry Ford was a crucial innovator in the advancements made during the second industrial revolution. The main contribution he made that was latter applied in other plants across the nation, were the improvements he made on the assembly line model.  He adapted it to fit mass production goals that companies had at the time and installed it in his very own Highland Park Ford Plant.
In doing this, he was able to lower the price of his product, the Model - T, and allow it to be available to a larger range of people.

The integration of robotics and more machines as a means of industrial development. Particularly focusing on the question of whether this ends up supporting and improving workers occupational health or hurting them further. It limits number of jobs available and the jobs for workers can be done easier with machines, faster, more accurately, and cheaper.
Work and job opportunities being outsourced offshore, additionally hurt U.S. workers, taking their jobs and leaving them unemployed even if they are well educated. They are competing with other equally dedicated, driven and wiling to work for lower pay. This benefits the big businesses who get more profit though outsourcing.
Positive effect on Americans, since the beginning of our nation up until even now, the question of who belonged and who didn't, who was a part of it and how much of a part is a big debate. "stealing our jobs", when in reality a lot of the times they are jobs that they wouldn't want anyways, want more white color jobs.

During the Second Industrial Revolution, the adjustments that took place to conditions in the workplace along with the creations of new practices, exclusively sustained big-businesses’ interests in mass production and profit, while discounting the physical and mental occupational health of the workers.

# data[].attributes.body
In the early twentieth century, during the second industrial revolution, advances towards efficiency of mass production and innovation focused on quantity of output and profit. In the development of these new proceedings, Ford’s pioneering enterprise along with other big-name corporations, as a result chose to discount the quality of their products, along with what was in the best interests of the workers. The particular methods that were created in interest of improving these settings to work at a much larger scale, destructed both the mental and physical occupational health of workers in said settings, in order to create well-received new products. In many situations, such as the radium dial factories, understanding of the materials and safety precautions were also disregarded in the interest of these gleaming new products. Inevitably, these detrimental conditions caused havoc in many different incidents which raised outrage in the general public and in response, action in courts. This same action led to the developments made in occupational safety that we still see evident in the industry today.

On December 1, 1913, Henry Ford installs the first moving assembly line for the mass production of an entire automobile. His innovation reduced the time it took to build a car from more than 12 hours to one hour and 33 minutes.

Ford's Model T, introduced in 1908, was simple, sturdy and relatively inexpensive-but not inexpensive enough for Ford, who was determined to build "motor car[s] for the great multitude." ("When I'm through," he said, "about everybody will have one.") In order to lower the price of his cars, Ford figured, he would just have to find a way to build them more efficiently.

Ford had been trying to increase his factories' productivity for years. The workers who built his Model N cars (the Model T's predecessor) arranged the parts in a row on the floor, put the under-construction auto on skids and dragged it down the line as they worked. Later, the streamlining process grew more sophisticated. Ford broke the Model T's assembly into 84 discrete steps, for example, and trained each of his workers to do just one. He also hired motion-study expert Frederick Taylor to make those jobs even more efficient. Meanwhile, he built machines that could stamp out parts automatically (and much more quickly than even the fastest human worker could).

The most significant piece of Ford's efficiency crusade was the assembly line. Inspired by the continuous-flow production methods used by flour mills, breweries, canneries and industrial bakeries, along with the disassembly of animal carcasses in Chicago's meat-packing plants, Ford installed moving lines for bits and pieces of the manufacturing process: For instance, workers built motors and transmissions on rope-and-pulleypowered conveyor belts. In December 1913, he unveiled the pièce de résistance: the moving-chassis assembly line.

In February 1914, he added a mechanized belt that chugged along at a speed of six feet per minute. As the pace accelerated, Ford produced more and more cars, and on June 4, 1924, the 10-millionth Model T rolled off the Highland Park assembly line. Though the Model T did not last much longer-by the middle of the 1920s, customers wanted a car that was inexpensive and had all the bells and whistles that the Model T scorned-it had ushered in the era of the automobile for everyone.

How his opposition with the unions ended in the end and they got rights

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After a long and bitter struggle on the part of Henry Ford against cooperation with organized labor unions, Ford Motor Company signs its first contract with the United Automobile Workers of America and Congress of Industrial Organizations (UAW-CIO) on this day in 1941.

In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's allies in Congress passed the landmark National Labor Relations Act-also known as the Wagner Act, after one of its authors, Senator Robert Wagner of New York-which established workers' rights to collective bargaining and attempted to regulate unfair practices by employers, employees and unions. By 1937, after successful sit-down strikes (during which the workers remained inside the factory so that strikebreakers were unable to enter) both General Motors and Chrysler had made deals with the fledgling UAW, and Ford was the lone holdout against the unionization of the auto industry.

Edsel Ford, president of Ford Motor, recognized that the Wagner Act had made unionization inevitable, and tried to reason with his father. The elder Ford, who despised labor unions, instead put his trust in Harry Bennett, head of Ford's Service Department, who promised to keep the unions at bay. In the much-publicized "Battle of the Overpass" on May 26, 1937, Ford henchmen brutally beat several UAW organizers (including Walter Reuther and Richard Frankensteen) attempting to hand out leaflets at Ford's River Rouge plant. In the aftermath of this incident, Ford Motor Company was found guilty of violating the Wagner Act, and in early 1941 the National Labor Relations Board ordered the company to stop interfering with the union's attempts to organize.

On April 1, 1941, a walkout by Ford workers protesting the firing of several union members closed down the River Rouge plant. The strike inflamed racial tensions, as many African-American Ford employees returned to work before their white colleagues, breaking the strike. Though Henry Ford had initially threatened to shut down his plants rather than sign with the UAW-CIO, he changed his position and signed a contract with the union that June 20. Ford's change of heart was reportedly due to the urging of his wife, Clara, who feared that more riots and bloodshed would result from her husband's refusal to work with the unions and threatened to leave him if he did not sign the contract.

Paradoxically, Ford gave its workers more generous terms than had either GM or Chrysler: In addition to paying back wages to more than 4,000 workers who had been wrongfully discharged, the company agreed to match the highest wage rates in the industry and to deduct union dues from workers' pay.
