George, le ganaste a Marian por dos minutos y en justicia te corresponden los KudoZ... pero si pudiera, los dividiría entre ambos, ya que ella me dio "el reason why".
Ni soñar con vacaciones de verano. Tradicionalmente, ésta es una excelente época de trabajo aquí. ¡Ya me desquitaré dentro de un par de meses!
Muchas gracias,
María Eugenia

workdays

Explanation:
I know you're not crazy about it, but that's what it is... not shifts, because a shift isn't necessarily a workday.

man-hours and man-days exists, but so does the equivalent in Spanish

workdays

Explanation:
En los EUA es el termino que se utiliza y yo creo que es el mas claro tambien.

Days of labor tambien podria ser otra opcion si no quiere usar workdays para nada. Suerte!

38 mins confidence:

days of work

Explanation:
simple and hopefully clear (workdays doesn't convince me)

however, if more technical term seems appropriate, I would agree with H. Hinds and go with 'man-days of work' - see references below
