Workmen fought for an eight-hour workday.#history #shorts #shortvideo #series #fouryou

The working class died to get us unions and workers rights, now the working class is being convinced all that unions and rights are a bad idea

And now the modern day factory owners have somehow managed to convince the workers that Unions and Regulations are bad.

Remember, if the company tells you the union is bad, join it. If your coworkers tell you its bad, change it. Unions were fought for with blood sweat and tears, dont let that go to waste.

Please, keep posting labor history into the algorithm. The men and women who fought bled and died for an 8 hour workday shan’t be forgotten

Not only do people forget the sacrifices of brave people who fought and died for a scrap of dignity. They will credit their successes to the the very people who oppressed them in the first place.

The army was called in over people not going to work. What a world.

Same situation with mines in the US. (Look up the Pinkerton origins). Which is why you always carry, and you don't stop with just the local boss you go all the way to the top first and take the head of the snake.

Anyone who told you "violence isn't the answer" has clearly never studied history. It is the most common answer we've ever had.

In reality cops killed countless striking workers in brutal massacres to protect and serve the 1%

So many young people have no idea how many died just to not be wage slaves.

An 8 hour day was it i think, right ? And 6 workdays a week.

8 hours work, 8 hours relaxing, 8 hours sleep . Cheers from Australia.

This has always been stuck behind the door. No movie on tv about the battle of the overpass either

Theyd rather die that live to just to work. Youre supposed to work to live.

Just a small remind to any soldier finding themselves in that situation: You are the ones with the guns you are able to decide who is more deserving to get shot.

To be accurate..."The historic fight for the 48-hour workweek (an 8-hour day, 6 days a week) was famously fought and won in Melbourne, Australia, beginning on April 21, 1856, when stonemasons at the University of Melbourne downed tools and marched to Parliament."

Never forget what it took to get here. And what it will take to protect it.

Fun fact, when President Roosevelt busted the trusts and freed the American people from their tyranny, those companies were only worth hundreds of millions. It is genuinely even worse today and no one is coming to save us.

Unintelligent people will say this is communism lol

I saw the older guy in "Hadestown" great singer
