Celebration of the eight hour working day, Amsterdam

In 1911 the ANDB (General Dutch Union of Diamond Workers) reached the eight hour working day, which was propagated by the labour movement under the slogan 'eight hours of work, eight hours of rest, eight hours of sleep. This milestone was celebrated on a large scale. Here decorations for the union's headquarters are proudly shown.
