The unions were instrumental in bringing about the 40 hour week. Prior to that the average worker had to work 10 hours a day or more and six days a week. The union fought to bring the amount of hours down so that we could have some leisure time.

40 hours seriously isn't enough. I work like a billion a week. It should be like 80 a week.
