Top 10 Worst “Accomplishments” of the American Labor Movement

5. The Two-Day Weekend

The Labor Movement would like you to think that they invented the day off, and that prior to their intervention, people worked their employees seven days a week. However, we all know that the Sabbath is an ancient invention, designed to save slaves and servants from being overworked. This was extended to two days by the Labor Movement, but it does not mean that any of us have been spared working on the weekend. Free people can and do work whenever they need to. If you own a business, you probably work 24/7. If you are a part-time employee at minimum wage jobs, chances are that you work on the weekend, too. So who doesn’t work on the weekend? Public Servants. If you wonder why the post office is closed or there is no service at your local Department of Motor Vehicles, you can thank the Labor Movement.
