The first draft of the Fair Labor Standards Act had a 30 hour workweek, past which you'd get overtime.
Many laws before the FLSA (like the New York law famously struck down as unconstitutional in the later-reversed Lochner v. New York) capped the workweek at 60 hours.
Imagine if either of these laws were the standard for the country ... maybe that would change our perspective on what is healthy and what is unhealthy.
