Michel et al., <br><br>In my view one of the most inspirational historical experiences with a shorter day for full pay was achieved in the Newcastle engineers' strike of 1871 for the nine-hour day. The success of that struggle inspired a wave of emulation across the U.K. and (at least) Canada. I retell the story of that strike, based mainly on the contemporary account of John Burnett, in the first chapter of my manuscript, "Jobs, Liberty and the Bottom Line," in which I also present a commons-based (Elinor Ostrom) strategy from restarting a dynamic shorter work time movement.<br>
