On 21 April 1856 Melbourne Building workers won an industry-wide agreement to establish the Eight Hour Day. In the 150 years since then the slogan “Eight Hours Labour, Eight Hours Recreation, Eight Hours Rest” has symbolised workers’ efforts to take control over the time of their lives and, in doing so, strike an equitable balance between work, rest and play.
This book offers historical perspectives on that continuing campaign, to give readers a long term context for our current debates over the work/life balance and power in the workplace.
