The following excerpt sounds slightly non-NPOV to me: "Until then, a woman's body was legally considered as a commodity by the bourgeoisie, like a sack of potatoes or a chair. In the field of general working conditions, some improvements were achieved, for example, the right to freedom of association and the right to belong to a union. On 1 July 1931, the 8-hour working day was decreed. Night work was regulated, obliging bosses to allow 8 hours of rest, and the Sunday Rest Law was granted to all workers. "

[edit] The meaning of the purple band in the flag
The purple colour is inspired in the second quarter of the Spanish arms (both republican and monarchist), Leon (argent a lion purpure).
As far as I know the purple color actually came from the standards of the 'Comuneros', the first revolt against authoritarian rule in Spain (the commons of Castile vs. Charles I), but I'm afraid I can't offer any reference for that. --Estradin 19:24, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
