Skip the middleman and thank the union and working people who fought the battle.
Without unions, they'd have us working around the clock

I think saturdays used to be workdays too.
We need to turn fridays into another case like that.
justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 3 days ago
Yes they did.
Probably Sundays too going further back. Was likely one of the big draws that was built into Christianity.interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 3 days ago
“Believe our religion and get one guaranteed day off every 7 days, attendance and payment of tite required for elligibility. Must pretend god is real.”

Brb. Making a 3 day work week religion. Tithes are now 5%, but tax deductible as if it were 25% !

That predates christianity, judaism already had sabbath. I wonder if that was an original feature when judaism first came into existence or if the concept of a regular rest day is even older.

So it's unions to blame that I have 48 directionless hours where I end up destroying myself and alienating people?

It’s the unions that made it so you’re not working 100 hours a week and living in a coal and smog infested rat hole

If it wasn’t for unions I could be working during religious holidays! Communism.

As a union man I’m wise
To the lies of the company spies
And I don’t get fooled by the factory rules
'Cause I always read between the lines
And I always get my way
If I strike for higher pay
When I show my card to the Scotland Yard
And this is what I say:OHh…

I thought the title said onions
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 days ago
Onions have layers.
Unions have layers.
Same difference 🤷♂️
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Same. Those also contribute more to Fridays being enjoyed than the imaginary sky daddy ever did, though 🤷

Work existed before mechanical time keeping, and it sounds like it was waaaaay better than:

What if my god is Uniono, god of higher wages and more days off?
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Oh, a member of the conservative svhism of uniono. The original was into synficalism and owning means of production.
