Never forget, people DIED for the eight hour workday.—Rebecca Gordon
Freedom is never granted; it is won. Justice is never given; it is exacted.
- A. Philip Randolph
“Silence never won rights. They are not handed down from above; they are forced by pressures from below.”
―Roger Baldwin
Do any of you guys know a quote or a paragraph of intense visual and poetic quality that concerns the slow achievement of human and social rights after centuries of struggle? I am sure there must be a book that makes (maybe on the introduction or in the conclusion of the volume) some beautiful and concentrated remarks about the fact that so much that today is normal and well established for us needed to be extracted with strikes, wars, blood and sweat from those on power by our ancestors.

You can say that when you are not the one fighting against the dilapidation of labor rights in your country. The one who is fragile and spoiled here is you. Probably never had to work a day in your life (except for comfortable desk jobs) and had the University paid by your parents for you.
Also, I am not talking to /pol/ here: spoiled babies dont have nothing to offer.

Don't know any but i have to notice that people generally don't value the rights they have and take them for granted
If there was a debate for going back to 12 hour workday i assure that there would be actual working people among those who support it, people are completely brainwashed into acting against their own interests
Rights are won and this is a fundamental truth, those who don't fight for them don't deserve them
