Waiting for the Weekend by Witold Rybczynski, The Overworked American by Juliet B. Schor, Workers of the World Relax by Conrad Schmidt, The Five Day Weekend by Peter M. Rinaldo
We're a group based in Asheville, N.C., advocating a dramatic solution to a dramatic problem.
Overwork has become an epidemic in America. More vacation time's not the answer, since we're not even using what we're given. (And we're given far less than most other developed countries, by the way.)
We believe the answer is to overhaul our antiquated weekend system (which dates back to the Great Depression) and reverse a decades-long trend of increased work.
If you're overworked, if you're frustrated by how many amazing things you could be doing if your job didn't swallow your life, then you're with us. Show your support today as this movement gets rollin'.

Who I'd like to meet: The overworked, the tired, the frustrated, the hopeful, the artistic and the restless.
Friends of the Five Day Weekend come from all walks of life. The major things we share are a desire to do more with our lives than work and a firm belief that no one ever laid on a deathbed thinking, "If only I'd spent more time at the office..."
