People didn't end up with 40 hour work week, people fought to get it that low
And now we're on a speed run to prove that no victories are permanent.
Yes. It's not a constant progress forward as some think but constant uphill battle with backsliding if you get too comfortable.
And in all honesty should have fought for a 4 day workweek right after.
