Hence, the endless #legislation against us, and against our interests (living wage, #health care, #retirement #security).

  7. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 **Medieval peasants enjoyed a surprising range of sick, annual and bereavement leave benefits**

    "_By comparison – as our new paper shows – peasants on the estate of Ramsey Abbey in Huntingdonshire, England, were entitled to up to a year and a day of leave from working on the lord’s lands if they were sick.
