Actually, it was yesterday, but I was asleep at the wheel…apologies to all.

25 June 1938
The Wages and Hours (later Fair Labor Standards) Act is passed, banning child labor and setting the 40-hour work week. The Act went into effect in October 1940, and was upheld in the Supreme Court on 3 February 1941.

I will be posting as often as I can find info on the day’s labor history. Hopefully, it will be informative.
