California senate backs eight hour workday exemption for office women
Sacramento reports the Senate Labor Committee urged revising the 1911 law to exempt women in office occupations from the eight hour day. The California Federation of Labor opposes any relaxation, while groups led by the Federation of Business and Professional Women and the American Association of University Women push for the exemption. The statute currently limits women in selected industries to 8 hours daily or 48 hours weekly with some workers excluded.
