1856+First+Trade+Union+success+in+Australia

The First Trade Union success was the 8 hour day. It happened in Melbourne in 1856. The workers wanted an 8 hour day mainly because their bosses could make them work 16 hours with no extra wage. Workers marched around the streets collecting other workers on the way. They went to parliament house to demand an 8 hour day. The government agreed. Now we have marches to remember this success!
