George Pullman, the founder of the Pullman Company, typically had his workers on a schedule of around 12-hour workdays, six days a week. This demanding schedule was common during the late 19th century in industrial settings. However, after the Pullman Strike of 1894, which was partly in response to wage cuts and poor working conditions, there were calls for better labor practices and shorter work hours.
