Your understanding of this subject disagrees with history. Henry Ford did not create a 5-day work week. Unions had already been fighting for an 8-hour workday for 60 years in the US alone. Ford adopted this and a 6-day week to attract workers. One could almost be forgiven for concluding that Ford was won over by 60 years of arguments and political activity by unions that preceded him, and gave their ideas a try.
