Did you know?
In the late 19th century, a 12-hour work day was standard for most American workers.  Some of the first Labor Day marches were organized in support of an 8-hour day.  In 1916 the 8-hour workday became official.   In 1999 Blackberry allowed millions of employees to revert to a 24-hour work day.
