Today in Labor History July 3, 1835: 2000 children, mostly Irish and female, went on strike at the silk mills of Paterson, N.J., for an 11-hour day and 6-day week. They were currently being forced to work 13 hours per day Monday through Saturday, and were regularly fined for minor disciplinary infractions. Solidarity by workers in neighboring cities, including financial support from New York and Newark, helped sustain the strike for two weeks. However, the bosses eventually won the strike, but did offer a compromise of a 69-hour work week. And strike leaders, and their families, were permanently barred from future employment in Paterson.

To best capture benefits of the #remoteexperience, #employees should find ways to better #timetracking. Keeping up with #workinghours can help #workers identify where their time is being spent, see how much of their day gets used up by unimportant #tasks, and #prioritize what’s important. Tracking time can also help #workers schedule breaks and #timeoff when they need it the most.

📊 Law of marginal returns - Once you cross a certain threshold of hours worked, you'll never get as much done in the next hour as you did the hour before that, and your returns begin diminishing.

Is 40 hours a week too much? Here’s what #history and #science say | #Okta Australia

"How many #WorkingHours a week is too much? Unfortunately, it’s not a question that #research has answered. We know the effects of working 50 hours a week are negative; anything over 40 makes people less productive overall. But is 40 the magic number, or is it outdated—a contributing factor to low national engagement and #productivity levels?"

The labour market will and must change, there is no doubt about that, but whether it will change in the right direction and whether we understand the call of modern times is a much more open question.
