A Shorter Working Day (1892)

by Robert Abbott Hadfield and Henry de Beltgens Gibbins

Book Overview

A Shorter Working Day is a book written by Robert Abbott Hadfield in 1892. The book explores the idea of reducing the length of the working day to improve the lives of workers. Hadfield argues that a shorter working day would not only benefit workers by giving them more time for leisure and family, but it would also increase productivity and improve the overall economy. The book provides historical context for the issue, examining the working conditions of the time and the struggles of workers to achieve better conditions. Hadfield also proposes solutions for implementing a shorter working day, including legislation and collective bargaining. The book is a significant contribution to the history of labor and workers' rights, and it remains relevant today as debates continue over the appropriate length of the working day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
