Answer: Eight hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1866, the National Labor Union issued a resolution in Baltimore that said the following:

“The first and great necessity of the present to free labor of this country from capitalist slavery, is the passing of a law by which eight hours shall be the normal working day in all States of the American Union. We are resolved to put forth all our strength until this glorious result is achieved.”
