"On December 1, 1930, at the start of the Great Depression, W.K. Kelogg replace the traditional three daily eight-hour shifts in his cereal plant with four six-hour shifts. By adding on a new shift, he and his managers created jobs for many unemployed workers in Battle Creek, Michigan, including employees that the company had previously laid off. Kellogg's six-hour day was the pinnacle of a hundred-year process that cut working time virtually in half, Kellogg's management, propelled by a vision of "Liberation Capitalism," insisted that six-hours wold revolutionize society by shifting the balance of time from work to leisure - from economic concerens to the challenge of freedom. Kellogg's employees, like centuries of workers before them, believed that work was a menas to an end. An overwhelming number of employees were willing to "share their work" and invest the extra time in family, community, church, and individual freedom. When World War II ended, Kellogg's managers abandoned the six-hour shift and joined the rest of the nation in defining progress as more work for more people. Losing sight of the original dram of providing more time to live outside necessity, management argued that work should remain the center of life, imparting identity, meaning, and purpose to an otherwise meaningless existence. Hunnicutt documents the struggle of those workers, mostly women, who resisted management and the new beliefs about work's centrality. They fought to keep their six-hour shifts until 1985, and in the process preserved the century-old vision of "progressive shortening of the hours of labor." Their story is a monument to workers' struggle to gain control over their lives and to obtain substantial freedom beyond necessity. This remarkable vision of progress offers hope and guidance in the face of layoffs, downsizing, mandatory overtime, and a "jobless future," which plague our nation." - from the rear outer cover. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Benjamin Kline Hunnicutt is Professor of Leisure Studies at the University of Iowa. He is also the author of Work Without End: Abandoning SHorter Hours for the Right to Work.
