Chris Persampieri Discusses Labor History and the 8-Hour Day

Chris Persampieri Discusses Labor History and the 8-Hour Day14. Okt.1 Std. 21 Min.

Chris Persampieri (Next Generation Carriers) and I had a wide-ranging discussion about the fight of organized labor to achieve the 8-hour workday.

In the intervening century, we've given most of those gains back.
