Labor Leader

"When people ask me why are the immigrant families so poor?" I wonder if they are blind or just that naive. They are poor because of the outrageous hours and pay the industry owners pay them. They work until they are hurt or sick, they work hours no sane human would choose to work, and they get paid hardly enough to survive on. I feel sorry for those with families to take care of, they are having to put their children into the sweatshops and are living just to work. THese immigrants all came over to this country in hopes for a better future. They were under the impression anyone could make in America. They did not realize they would be the ones working in factories with little to no guidelines or standards for wages and treatment Therefore, poverty being a part of the immigrant life was almost not a question. They went where they could get work and then were taken advantage of because they were seen as basically expendable. I for one feel that labor unions are a undoubtable art of the future. Once you treat someone as an animal for long enough they start to lose their desire to work for such a leader. No one wants to be poor, everyone just wants a fair chance to make it.
