![]() ![]() That is what we work as people in the world today.ġ00%. ![]() ![]() Like there's nothing that says we should work 40 hours a week. So as much as these labor reforms did protect a lot of workers and ensure a 40 hour workweek and protections that went with it, that did not apply to everyone. I mean, all of this is so tied up in and race and gender and all of that history. And a lot of that was straight up racist, right? Like it was part of the deal of like, okay, we'll have labor protections for some people, but we can't consider people who work primarily in the home to be workers who are worthy, deserving of these protections, because if we did, then we'd have to pay all of these, specifically Black people, but also people of color, lower class workers and women, particularly the same wages we would pay someone who was working in a factory. So that was migrant workers, oftentimes until labor reforms within the agricultural market, but also people who worked as domestics in any capacity, so people who worked as nannies but also as housekeepers. I mean, the way the labor reforms have always worked has been the workers that officials don't want to treat as valuable workers were exempted from that. ![]()
