Fizzzzle Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Yes, I'm aware today is memorial day, not labor day. I'm even wearing white. But think of the people that actually get labor day off work. Chances are they work in an office or for the government. Service, retail, shipping, transit, emergency, most healthcare, even some construction depending on your contractor. Basically, most people who actually perform labor. I think it would be a fun experiment to require all non emergency services and businesses to shut down on labor day. Like hospitals, grocery stores and gas stations can stay open, literally everything else has to close for the day. Celebrate the workers by bringing society to its knees for a day.

Keyser_Soze Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 There are jobs beyond office work and government work that get the day off. Also I'm sure there are people beyond who you mentioned in the the category that you say don't get the day off that do. Some people like working on a holiday so they would gladly volunteer to work while someone else gets the holiday off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 On some days my job is strictly labor. Then some days I do computer work and don't do anything physical. I'm at a happy medium so I deserve labor day off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
