Wait, you guys are getting President's Day off work??
Yeah, making election day a national holiday doesn't help those of us who don't get most holidays off.
Right. Congress would need to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to mandate that employers give national holidays off to employees for this to apply to everyone.

This was my thought as well. Too many years of retail has left me with an instinctual hatred for holidays. Like how Labor Day is a holiday for the rich to "celebrate" the working poor who have to work that day.

I've been getting it off for years. I know teachers do too, but I'm not a teacher.
Yes. Quite stupidly
