The inconsistent and contradictory dates, facts and arguments in the Wikipedia postings for May Day, Labor Day, the Haymarket strike/riot, and the eight-hour workday are amazing. I love that people are making entries, but the academic oversight -- if only for the sake so factual consistency -- is sadly lacking.preceding unsigned comment by 63.204.50.125 (talk • contribs) 08:53, 30 July 2005 (UTC+11 hours ) This is Wikipedia; Fix it yourself instead of just complaining about liberal bias.preceding unsigned comment by 24.218.17.203 (talk • contribs) 09:26, 15 December 2005 (UTC+11 hours )

[edit] Japan?

Why did this idea never spread to Japan? "Japanese work environment" says 46 hours is the norm. But many workers in Japan work 6 days a week and very long office hours. It would be nice to see a section on this here. ... Seabhcan 15:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
