Labor Day and the 40-Hour Week
Rev. Dawn Fortune

Born in the sweatshops of the Industrial Revolution, Labor Unions in the United States fought for – and achieved – laws and policies that banned child labor, regulated working conditions and fair wages for unionized workers. The notion that workers might require time off for more than sleep was a bit of a novel concept, and eventually the results of the shortened work week bore fruit in efficiency and production. Renewal is as vital to us today as it was to the workers in 19th century textile mills. Join us as we contemplate how our days and weeks are split up into “work, recreation, and rest.”
