英语作文 我双休日要干什么80字
While the idea of a non working day goes back to biblical times[ambiguous],the idea of two non working days at the end of every week is not very old.In most cultures out of a seven day week (Saturday,Sunday) are the rest days.[ambiguous]
The American concept of the weekend has its roots in labor union attempts to accommodate Jewish workers who took Saturday instead of Sunday as their Sabbath.[1] The first five-day work week was instituted by a New England cotton mill for this reason.
In 1926 Henry Ford began shutting down his automotive factories for all of Saturday and Sunday.In 1929 the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America was the first union to demand a five-day work week and receive it.After that,the rest of the United States slowly followed suit,but it wasn't until 1940 that the two-day weekend began nationwide.
However in the United Kingdom Saturday morning was a part of the normal working week until the mid 1950s when progressively a five day week began.
However there are still some companies in the US that assume weekends are included in the workweek.
