This list is good, but American. Here in Canada we would add Maternity Leave, Parental Leave, subsidized childcare spaces, pensions, Family Medical Leave, and Critically Ill Child Leave.
Then there was the creation of the middle class and a more equitable distribution of the nation's wealth.
All brought to you by the struggle and lobbying of your Union brothers and sisters who believe at the core that what we wish for ourselves we wish for all.
I understand we in the union movement can make life challenging for those who are not in the union movement. Unfortunately none of the achievements were willingly given. From time to time we need to use a strong collective hand to convince those with power and resources to do the right thing.
Enjoy the Labour Day Weekend (of yes, thank your Union bros and sisters for that too).
