Muret-Sanders German-English Dictionary, 1908, says : "vor acht Tagen
a week ago".

German and English Dictionary, Cassel, 1924, says  : "acht Tagen, a week";

Joseph B. Reid


That's how you get more worker productivity.  With an eight day week it's work six, take off two.  An extra day of labor.

I think there is a misunderstanding here.  The German 8-day week runs; Sonntag, Montag, Dienstag, Mitwoch, Donnerstag, Freitag, Samstag, Sonntag.  This is a linguistic question; not a matter of labor relations.
