FRANCES PERKINS THREW THE CANNERY WORKERS UNDER THE BUS!

[hedgehog]

she championed a fifty-four hour work week for women factory workers. The legislation passed at her instigation by allowing a compromise on an exemption for cannery workers. Her perfectionist social worker colleagues were angry, but she had learned to compromise to get things done and the following year was rewarded by seeing the cannery workers included as well.
