Says the man with no common sense and reading comprehension.
 
Pay your bet off to Kevin.
 
How about that Gitmo Article you posted?
 
The fight started long before Ford did anything
People were dying in labor demonstrations seeking humane work conditions in the 1890's
 
As we all celebrated labor Day, don't forget to tip your hats to oBama's H1B visa programs that encourage companies to hire non US citizens.
 
Another moderate democrat assault on the working man.

I would have worded it differently but were exactly does the United States lead the rest of the industrialized world? Because most of the things we do lead in are things you really don't want to be head of the pack.

The politicians in the coal state rural counties prey on the fear and ignorance of their constituents.

Shame on them for not telling the truth and helping them move forward as technology changes.
And unions don't engage in the same fear & featherbedding behaviors?

When railroads went to diesel locomotives in the 1950's, the unions insisted on keeping firemen (the guys who shoveled coal into the boilers of steam engines) employed for at least another decade.

People forget that Boeing had to design in provision for a third seat in the 757 and 767 cockpit, even though there was no need for a flight engineer anymore. Prior to production aircraft being delivered, they were finally able to get certification as a two man cockpit.

And even Bears' beloved longshoreman's union seems to keep jobs around that are obsoleted by technology and containerized freight handling.

I did not state nor imply that the behavior was exclusive to the corporations in my post.
 
E got one already right
There were production 767s built with re stations, then modified

That was due to faa certification issues, not union contracts

1, Sort of, out of 3

Getting better

Still not that good
 
Here you go petey, or is it buttercup or snowflake?
 
You have been proven wrong again, and here is the proof.

Does the 8-hour day and the 40-hour week come from Henry Ford, or labor unions?
By Louis Jacobson on Wednesday, September 9th, 2015 at 3:54 p.m.
 
Our ruling
 
A viral image said that Henry Ford, not unions, created the eight-hour work day and the five-day work week.
Ford does deserve credit for adopting shorter working shifts, but he was hardly the first employer to do this, and the now-standard working schedule did not become federal law -- and thus a right for all workers -- until almost a quarter-century after Ford’s move. Meanwhile, experts said, unions do deserve credit for keeping the working-hours issue alive, at significant personal sacrifice, for 70 years.
The claim contains some element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression, so we rate it Mostly False.
 
 
 
Another post of yours shown that you are nothing more than a liar.

You have lost the argument when you attack the source and not the content.
You've lost your mind when you think a second rate hack liberal website, run by some liberal hack in his parents basement, has more credibility then the thousands of historical documents and the research staff at the History Channel just to name a few.

This hack site found one liberal professor and other (unnamed) sources to twist a story like they always do. Politifact is a joke.

Just as anyone who use's it as a source.

ALMOST Right Eric, about the  ILWU.  Jobs lost to automation (I DO BELIEVE) were grandfathered in, and NO other folks were hired for those jobs. ( As food started to STAGNATE on ships anchored out, waiting for a berth while the shippers tried to play HARD BALL, only to  L O S E AGAIN ) !   "Oh MY "  !!!
