Most people look foward to Friday night much more than Monday morning. I was looking up why we had a two day weekend, instead of the one Sunday that we had many years ago. It's because the labor union wanted to accomodate Jewish workers who wanted to take Saturday as their Sabbath instead of the usual Sunday.
Then, in the late 20's, the Almagamated Clothing Workers of America, a labor union, demanded a five day work week instead of a six day work week, and they recieved it. Soon after, the rest of the USA followed.
