Abstract
“Work-life balance” is a relatively modern expression but the core concept is not novel as resistance to excessive incompatibility between work roles and personal roles has a history that predates contemporary struggles for a decline in unnecessary work-life conflict. A portion of this history is conveyed, from an ethics perspective, through efforts of early labor organizations and a social organization that addressed labor issues. The resolve of key female labor leaders and activists, who contributed to labor reform and served as early proponents for work-life balance is communicated,and implications and suggestions for practice and future inquiry are provided.
