In ancient times, the status of manual labourers (laborers) was low, as most physical tasks were done by Slaves . This continued into the Feudal period, where, however, skilled labourers were seen as Artisan s, and could aspire to become influential Citizen s. Beginning with the Industrial Revolution , though, the introduction of reliable machinery further lowered the status of labourers. The reduction in status led to the worldwide Labour Movement s of the 19th and early 20th Centuries , leading to the formation of Trade Union s. SEE ALSO |
