And even that was a compromise from just working until you drop. People organized and died for the 40-hour workweek.

Literally got on trains, headed into West Virginia, shot at each other, stormed machine gun pillboxes, and got bombed. If it weren't for those people we'd still be in labor camps

Pinkertons murdering workers at Carnegie Steel

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

The same Pinkertons that were sent after some guy who grabbed a few Magic the Gathering cards?

He didn't even grab them, he was sent the wrong box by the warehouse by mistake.
