Non-musical history for today: 1914 – The Ford Motor Company announced an eight-hour workday and a minimum daily wage of $5 in salary plus bonuses. Ford was the first major American corporation to adopt the policy, even though unions worldwide had been adopting the policy since the late 1700s. The $5 minimum was double the regular wage. In today’s money, it would be ~$125 per hour.
