So let's stop all this gloomy gut -strike talk, huh? I mean, we 16 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,600 don't have to have a race, and I think we all can live with one little 17 00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:22,600 The important thing is we've got our health. 18 00:02:23,150 --> 00:02:27,510 We better.

Not just making shoes, but in 258 00:15:42,980 --> 00:15:49,360 coal mines, in textile mills, garment sweatshops. You could find six -year 259 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,560 working for ten cents a day. 260 00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:58,570 And often, Four -year -olds were used to clean and oil heavy machinery. 261 00:15:58,950 --> 00:16:02,270 Well, how could anyone do that to a four -year -old? Yeah. 262 00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:04,370 Simple. It's expedient. 263 00:16:04,830 --> 00:16:08,250 Small child fits very nicely into a large machine. 264 00:16:08,850 --> 00:16:14,390 But occasionally somebody loses a finger or a hand or even a life. But business 265 00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:15,390 is business. 266 00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:17,290 Business as usual. 267 00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:20,290 Now, in 1799... 268 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,540 The Cordwainers led the first strike in an attempt to change things.

What? 271 00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:35,880 Criminal conspiracy to increase wages. 272 00:16:37,260 --> 00:16:38,260 Well, 273 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,660 by the 20th century, things had changed considerably. 274 00:16:43,150 --> 00:16:48,550 At that point, management was using the militia or law enforcement to shoot 275 00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:50,990 striking workers, including children. 276 00:16:53,950 --> 00:16:59,650 So you see, if it weren't for this shoe and a lot of people who made very real 277 00:16:59,650 --> 00:17:03,990 sacrifices, most of you would probably be working in a sweatshop somewhere, 278 00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:05,250 minus a few fingers. 279 00:17:07,930 --> 00:17:10,569 And I hope you all do very well on your tests tomorrow. 280 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,500 What are we supposed to do with our shoes? 281 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:18,060 Maybe we can fit them in our mouths. 282 00:17:20,060 --> 00:17:21,060 Okay, Mr. Moore. 283 00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:23,300 Maybe there were horror stories back then. 284 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:25,940 But what does that have to do with the teacher's strike today? 285 00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:29,240 I mean, it's not like you're trying to keep kids from being abused. 286 00:17:29,540 --> 00:17:30,860 Yes, we are, in a way. 287 00:17:31,180 --> 00:17:32,179 What kids? 288 00:17:32,180 --> 00:17:33,900 You and every kid in school. 289 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,440 You deserve the best education that money can buy. 290 00:17:39,050 --> 00:17:43,370 I know teachers who have been working for 10, 15 years. They're not making as 291 00:17:43,370 --> 00:17:46,110 much money as toll collectors in the Holland Tunnel. 292 00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:51,850 Now, what kind of people are going to be teaching you if things continue at that 293 00:17:51,850 --> 00:17:54,110 rate?
