Short point:
I once had occassion to attend a (Marxist) Longshoreman Union's meeting.
They ranted on and on about how (Marxist-backed, please read history) Unions are responsible for giving American workers their weekends.
I beg to differ.
Please read the 4th Bidding of God (Fourth Commandment).
The reason Moses implemented that, at least in part, was as a burst of FREEDOM to the long-oppressed inhabitants of Canaan who had been previously worked CONTINUOUSLY, without stop, by their wealthy Ba'al worshipping Canaanite owners. By setting aside a "Day of Rest", Moses thereby assured that the monied land owners could no longer unflaggingly work their peasants to exhaustion and beyond.
So if you ever hear a (Marxist) Union speaker claim (Marxist) Unions gave you your weekend, please find the strength to point out that MOSES beat them by about 3K years.
Hey Moses, thanks man for the Weekend!
