@Yaldabeoth @ask_aubry Strongly disagree. If SAHM duties could be completed in 8 hours (with a lunch break), then absolutely fair. But they can't. One partner working an 8-9 hour day 5 days a week and the other working 24/7 is not a fair division of labour which is what women are saying

It’s Labour Day in Victoria today. The fight for workers to have an eight hour work day and eight hours of recreation was won by Labor and unionists. The fight goes on! Rights don’t just happen we win them and then fight for and win them again. #labourday #awu #StrongerTogether https://t.co/eiGy5ucYcH

Labour Day in Victoria. Take a moment to reflect & acknowledge the struggles of workers who fought for 8 hours work, 8 hours Recreation, 8 Hours Rest. It was revolutionary.
