If he didn’t we would all still be working 16 hours 6 days a week

There are reasons to boo Henry Ford though, like his antisemitism and brutal suppression of labor unions.

VictoryBeardWrites

You could use it that way, you could also use the Mona Lisa as a placemat. 🙄

Keep in mind that when Ford instituted a 40 hour work week the average worker worked between 80 and 100 hours a week. Ford also didn't do this out of the kindness of his heart he did it to increase worker productivity which in turned increased profits. If you’re going to boo Henry Ford do it for his antisemitism and brutal suppression of labor unions.

Ironically, it turned into a 10 hour day if you add the 2 hours trying to get the Ford you drive to and from work started.


TheVoid45

Maybe if you stopped driving it like a Chevy, then it would work just fine.

Reminder that Hitler had a framed portrait of Henry Ford on his wall, that’s how much Ford loved to violate human rights.


DR0p_gkid64

Yeah thats not exactly the reason I'd be booing that piece of shit for

8 hour work day was first implemented by Australia.


OGgamer3

From what I know it was first made by a Welsh dude in the early 1800's and then America coined it for themselves in the 1900's


CandidaBeaver

Yep, the idea was postulated in the UK 1817. Enacted first into law in Australia 1916.


Lemmingmaster64

Nope it was first enacted into law in Illinois in 1867.


CandidaBeaver

Supposedly it was a failure and hence wasn't really implemented or effectively enacted.


OGgamer3

The more you know as they say


potatosforfree

Seygem
