I don't usually post on Sunday, but this is something important to remember.
1835 Paterson textile strike
On this date in 1835 the textile workers in Paterson, NJ, mostly children, struck for an 11 hour day and 6 day work week!
The next time you see a Union member, say thanks. Without Unions we'd still work 13 1/2 hour days. Anyone who thinks that business people have their workers good at the center of their vision are living in a dream world...
