(1)an eight-hour labor system
(2)The eight-hour labor system is a system that excludes holidays and prohibits workers from working more than eight hours a day, or 40 hours a week, to protect their health.
(3)At the time of the Industrial Revolution, the average working hours in the UK were 10-16 hours a day and only one holiday a week. In 121810, Robert Owen appealed for 10 hours of work a day and put it into practice at his New Lanark factory. In 1817, the slogan “8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of rest” was created with the aim of working 8 hours a day. As a result of Owen’s movement, the British government enacted the Factory Act in 1833, which was insufficient, and the revision of the law in 1847 finally realized a 10-hour work restriction on juvenile and female workers. French workers won 12 hours a day only after the 1848 revolution. Early trade unions and Chartist movements appealed for better working conditions and shorter working hours.

During the Industrial Revolution, British workers worked 10 to 16 hours a week 6 days.

If you work for 11 hours and 30 minutes 6 days a week, you get 69 hours.
