It argues that the length of the working day has been the central issue for the American labor movement during its most vigorous periods of activity, uniting workers along lines of craft, gender and ethnicity. The authors hold that the workweek is likely again to take on increased significance as workers face the choice between a society based on free time and one based on alienated work and unemployment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"edition-single--book-description\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"edition-single--book-reviews-header\"\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"edition-single--book-review\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This definitive study of the working day shows how workers defined the reality of their lives and reshaped our concept of time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"byline\"\u003e– George P.
