eight-hour-day movement  

Definición

  • The eight-hour-day movement was a focused mobilization of the American and European labor movements in the 19th and early 20th centuries to reduce the length of the workday to 8 hours, down from 10, 12, or even 16 hours in some industrial jobs. Artisans, craftsmen, skilled and unskilled, native born and immigrants, men and women, Protestants, Catholics, and Jews, all found in the eight-hour-day movement a cause around which to unite as wage workers.
