Let’s not forget they fought for the 8-hour work day too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day_movement https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day_movement In the United States, Philadelphia carpenters went on strike in 1791 for the ten-hour day. By the 1830s, this had become a general demand. In 1835, workers in Philadelphia organised the 1835 Philadelphia general strike, the first general strike in North America, led by Irish coal heavers. Their banners read, From 6 to 6, ten hours work and two hours for meals.[37] Labor movement publications called for an eight-hour day as early as 1836. Boston ship carpenters, although not unionized, achieved an eight-hour day in 1842.
