What were the three main goals of progressivism?
are the last themes of progressivism. They wanted better hours and conditions, state child labor laws, wanted on average 10 hour work days and safe conditions. They wanted workmens comp. There were 3 ways that corporations got out of paying workmens comp. They said that if a worker was injured due to a fellow servant that he was responsible for what others do wrong so. There was also the assumption of risk and refused to pay because they worker was aware of the job they are doing and possible risks/injures. Contributory negligence was another reasons corporations refused to pay workmens comp.
