Start a strike in Peru for the eight-hour day

112
years ago

7 January 1913,

In Peru, a strike for the 8-hour day began. After giving employers a 24-hour period to accept the claims and deny the proposal, the unions launched an absolute suspension of work in El Callao. After several partial achievements, in 1919 they managed to extend the 8-hour day to the whole country.
