Bunting v. Oregon, 243 U.S. 426 (1917), is a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States upheld a ten-hour work day. The trials of Bunting v. Oregon resulted in acceptance of a ten-hour workday for both men and women, but the state minimum-wage laws weren't changed until twenty years later. Future Supreme Court justice Felix Frankfurter along with future Oregon Supreme Court justices George M. Brown and John O. Bailey represented Oregon on the appeal while W. Lair Thompson and former Senator for Oregon Charles W. Fulton represented Bunting.[1]
