Depends on the culture and the climate. I think the slave labourers in the Soviet Gulags never worked naked. As brutal as it was they were provided with clothing and most importantly winter clothing. They probably did in the Caribbean but not in the Southern states where it was considered offensive. In some cultures slaves such as ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia went naked all the time.
not really, they were treaten badly, especially in ancient greece were some were even naked and lived in a silver mine.
The white people, did not wanted to work, so they just took the black people as slaves, so they could work for the white people.
I think that slaves mostly did the work,yes they did break tools but this is not how they resisted slavery:)
slaves feel worthless because they are forced to do work, and get very little pay for their labour.
Pretending to be sick to avoid work is an example of passive resistance used by slaves.
The actual work was done by thousands of masons, quarrymen, scribes and slaves did the actual work. Most if not all the slaves were naked.
The slaves did all the heavy labouring work such as quarrying, transporting the stone blocks on sledges and putting them in place; building the ramps and general excavation work. It it is most likely that the slaves were naked.
The most unfortunate slaves were those who were sent to work in the gold mines. Naked slaves worked for long hours in fearsome heat deep underground hacking out the rock which contained the veins of gold.
Most were slaves who were considered too low in status to wear clothes. This was dirty sweaty work. The ancient Egyptians were practical people aware that dirty, sweat laden clothing can lead to skin disorders. Better then to keep the slaves naked, healthy and capable of work.

The physical labor of building the pyramids was carried out by skilled workers known as laborers, who were typically ordinary people from villages across Egypt. These laborers worked under the direction of overseers and skilled craftsmen, using basic tools like hammers, chisels, and sledges to cut and transport the massive stone blocks.
The construction of the pyramids in Ancient Egypt was mainly carried out by skilled laborers, artisans, and craftsmen who were employed by the pharaoh. These workers were organized in teams and had specific tasks such as quarrying, carving stones, and hauling materials. The workforce also included farmers who worked on the construction during the Nile's flood season when their fields were flooded.

The caste system in India historically dictated social and occupational roles, which limited the need for a system of slavery. Instead of slavery, various forms of labor relations existed, such as servitude and indentured labor. Economic and cultural factors also contributed to the lack of widespread slavery in India.
There is no evidence to suggest that slaves who were mound builders went naked. Slaves in mound-building societies would likely have worn clothing similar to the rest of the population, which would have varied depending on the culture and time period.
it depends if the workers are hot
Nothing as most miners were slaves. They would have received food, water and shelter but probably not clothing. As slaves they went naked.
