    Wasn’t it seen as progressive and liberating at the time since it helped cement the existence of the weekend?

        Right? We are literally in the 21st century, but still cling to the ideals and customs of the industrial revolution.

        Ford was innovative because he used the scientific method to find out how long the work-week should be from a factory-owners perspective.
        And then he set it to that.
        If you’re a cog in a wheel in a factory that is still the ideal work-week from your owners perspective, sorry.

      Unions are the real reason we have anything as workers, we just give Ford the credit for propaganda purposes.
