Families worked 12 to 13 hours and with no time off. When woman where pregnant they only had 8 weeks to be with their kids which is not enough time to spend with a newborn, mothers were normally allowed to stay 16 weeks with their new borns but the works didn't provide enough time or child care.]]> 2019-11-05 09:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/geogalot/sqowlmrezru9/wish/406737979 https://padlet.com/geogalot/sqowlmrezru9/wish/406738651 Families had very little space to live in, they all slept and ate in the same room.

A small kitchen serves them all,  and they get paid 36 dollars a month when the minimum requirement is 58 dollars a month. That is a salary of 432 dollars per year: How can a family live off of that? All of this for 16 hours of work.]]> 2019-11-05 09:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/geogalot/sqowlmrezru9/wish/406739610 https://padlet.com/geogalot/sqowlmrezru9/wish/406746488 They didn’t have any choice when working in jobs and they had to have clean water, food and clothes. They seemed very poor and that they didn’t have any shelter since they had to squeeze in. No’one looked after their children since they had no mother to be with. Their shelter was very dark that they couldn’t see what they were doing.]]> 2019-11-05 10:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/geogalot/sqowlmrezru9/wish/406746488 https://padlet.com/geogalot/sqowlmrezru9/wish/408012636 Families have to live in a single room.
