Question

Florence Kelley and the National Consumers League put special labels on good that were produced under "fair, safe, and healthy working conditions." Give an example of how this is still important to consumers today.

Answer 1

Explanation:

National Consumers League (NCL), American organization founded in 1899 to fight for the welfare of consumers and workers who had little voice or power in the marketplace and workplace. Many of the NCL’s goals, such as the establishment of a minimum wage and the limitation of working hours, directly benefited poor working women. According to the NCL constitution, it was “concerned that goods be produced and distributed…at reasonable prices and in adequate quantity, but under fair, safe, and healthy working conditions that foster quality products for consumers and a decent standard of living for workers.”
