History Links
The standard five day week and forty hour week didn't just happen. Many people suffered terrible working conditions until workers said "Enough!" Some made the ultimate sacrifice - their lives - to bring us the benefits we now enjoy and take for granted. Although often overlooked, labor history is an exciting part of our heritage.
