Child Labor
Child labor is when young children go to work at a very young age. They did not really care if they did not get paid that much or if they worked long hours. The people who were in control they locked the doors to the roof so the children won't get any breaks that caused death or injuries because when there was a fire the children had no where to escape the fire.
Assembly Line
The assembly line is where you work all in a group to get something done like today they use several robots to make a car but all those robots or people have specific job to do.
