Henry Ford notoriously doubled wages to $5 a day and instituted an 8-hour day in 1914 to reduce employee turnover, later adopting a 5-day work week in 1926. John and Horace Dodge, as minority shareholders, sued Ford in the landmark case Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. (1919), arguing that profits should be paid to shareholders rather than reinvested in wages.Here is the Dodge Brothers logo from that time period for reference. 🧐🤔
