   Today is a good day to honour all the good things the labour movement, and labour unions, have done for humanity.

   Humane treatment of employees, workers having some free time every day and the weekends off, wages they can live on and support their family, and generally not being worked to death.

      Heard a libertarian say that it is the "free market" that resulted in better wages and good working hours as there is competition amongst employers to provide better working conditions.
      I think that they have the Chinese govt's disastrous "great leap forward" policy when they say that.
