14) Industrial Workers (Part II)

If you were there...

You run a button machine in a clothing factory in the 1890s. You work from 7:00 in the morning until 6:00 at night, every day except Sunday. Your only break is 15 minutes for lunch. Now you hear about a movement to start a workers' union to bargain with your employer. Union members will ask for an 8-hour workday. But you think your employer might fire you if you join.

Would you join the union??? Why or why not? (Explain your answer in a complete sentence.)
