It's not a matter of dictating, it's a matter of making sure there is a

eight hour work day

Dreamed up by Robert Owen (communist) But actually implemented by Henry Ford (Republican)


Owen was a socialist, not a communist. He was an early advocate for a
shorter worker day.

The eight hour day came about as a national cause because of worker
strikes and other union activities in New York and Chicago and some
other cities in the 1870s and 1880s, 35 years before Henry Ford jumped
aboard that ship.
