London Male Factory Worker (Victoria Iannotti)
I am living and breathing, and that is all that matters. Days are not easy. The night is my savior. It is the time when I can finally close my eyes and escape from this misery. I do not love the way I live. However, I make money and I am able to survive. Years from now, I hope that my life will improve, but surely I should not change the way it is now. Honestly, I should not take for granted what I do possess. Things could definitely be much worse. Because I do not feel that change is necessary, I do not agree at all with the idea that jobs should shift overseas for cheaper labor and abundant resources. This is a huge risk that could potential ruin my life! Think about it. If we move overseas, society cannot guarantee that this idea will work. Sure, there will be more resources. Yet, factories are constantly at work. In my opinion, more resources will simply add more chaos to factory life. I do not want to sacrifice my life for something that is so risky. I am content right now. My family and I are able to survive and make it on our own. Britain, as of now, is the place that I wish to be. I do not want to foolishly risk all I have for life overseas. It is not worth it... at all!

As a woman textile mill worker, I completely agree with you. Why take the risk of shipping jobs overseas when the system works well here. true, the work is hard and sometimes down right dangerous, but still, it puts food of the table, and clothes on our backs. Everyone talks of our middle class, how they are so wealthy and regal, yet they fail to acknowledge the work force behind them. Without us, they are nothing but a dream. We are the economy. We are the system. Why risking destroying that?
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. Life is not wonderful however it is much better than before. Things could be worse. Shifting job would drastically change the lives of workers. We could lose our job or have to leave our families. This is a huge risk. The money is low but still allows for us to live. If anything we should improve our conditions not shift our jobs.
