2-21-16 The Elusive 8 Hour Workday in 2:00
http://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/e/february-21-2016-the-elusive-8-hour-workday/
February 21, 2016
On this day in Labor History the year was 1868. That was the day that the Governor of California signed into law the eight-hour workday. The law was the result of a strong organizing effort led by California’s trade unions. The call for eight hours had gained traction across the U.S. labor movement after the Civil War.
