eggcorn 12/12/18 9:43:04 PM #1:	The eight-hour workday harkens back to 19-century socialism. When there was no upper limit to the hours that organizations could demand of factory workers, and the industrial revolution saw children as young as six-years-old working the coal mines, American labor unions fought hard to instill a 40-hour work week, eventually ratifying it as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. https://hbr.org/2018/12/the-case-for-the-6-hour-workday --- Warning: This post may contain triggering or distressing content. <cite>eggcorn posted [p:914030581] in The Case f...
