On November 16, 1982, NFL players ended their 57-day strike. The NFL was very different at the time. There was no free agency—players were drafted, and stayed with the same team until they were traded, cut or retired. Players had few benefits and fewer guarantees. 🧵 #unionhistory #laborhistory #1u

On October 24, 1940, America's 40-hour work week became law after American workers organized and fought for it for more than a century. In the 1800s and early 1900s, many workers labored 80 to 100 hours a week, especially those working in factories, mines and mills. The only day "off" was Sunday. 🧵
