Excuse me.....but people in those lines of work KNOW they will be working holidays when they take the job......and I am sure there are rules in place regarding who will work holidays rather than a supervisor arbitrarily making that decision.
Please see below, which was posted prior to your post:

Some of the non-union places I worked had policies such as, no more than a certain # of days off at Christmas so that everyone could get some time off; everyone has to work either Christmas or New Year's (in some places Thanksgiving was substituted for NY); etc.
Currently, my boss seems to follow "the squeaky wheel" theory, ie someone who kicks up a huge fuss will get what she wants, regardless of the circumstances. In fairness to her, she sometimes works an extra day herself to "keep the peace". But she knows who won't complain (too much anyway) and who will.
Nah. My family is so important I make time for them ANY DAY OF THE YEAR. Not wait around for some state-sanctioned made-up special day to celebrate my love and thanks for them.
But maybe liberals don't get that. Cuz the gubmint dint tell 'em it was time to love their families.
Good. Then don't take holidays off.
Of course, your post is nonsense. You cherish the holidays just like everyone else.
You right wingers are amazing, lemme tell ya. You say all this crap on websites, but in the end you're just like everyone else.
wallyworld pays about the same as every other department store
IN FACT walmart pays BETTER than Macy's
Walmart, by the way, has one fringe benefit, or one attribute that’s a little unusual in the industry. It does have a large number of its employees that own common stock in the company, which makes it somewhat different than some of the others. And there seems to be some high level of loyalty to the company, on average, for example, the turnover rates of Walmart employees are really not out of line with industry standards.
so the real question is why arent you badmouthing macy's, bloomingdales, penny's, belk, sterns, target, stein mart, talberts, etc
whats your actual agenda
How do you know that Macy's pays better than Walmart?
"In Australia, the 1907 Harvester Judgment ruled that an employer was obliged to pay his employees a wage that guaranteed them a standard of living which was reasonable for "a human being in a civilised community" to live in "frugal comfort estimated by current... standards,"
In public policy, a living wage or subsistence wage is the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet basic needs (for an extended period of time or for a lifetime). These needs include shelter (housing) and other incidentals such as clothing and nutrition. In some nations such as the United Kingdom and Switzerland, this standard generally means that a person working forty hours a week, with no additional income, should be able to afford a specified quality or quantity of housing, food, utilities, transport, health care, and recreation."
Are you saying fire/EMS/police just flip a coin to schedule their work days?.....Or ask their supervisor: "Oh, by the way, am I working this Thanksgiving?"
Yes, if there is a major fire, riot, accident, emergency workers may be called into work on their scheduled day off.....but isn't that the case in many other professions also? A person scheduled to work gets sick or is in a car accident so someone is called into work to fill in? Really, I didn't think I had to spell that out, but I guess in your case, it's necessary.
Judging by your last comment, you must ask your teacher or your Mom which days you get to stay home.
So someone should be paid by how much they need but not how hard they work or their skills ???
Sounds very communistic to me. Somebody can sit on their fat butt, do no labor and be paid a wage higher than someone more qualified.
Pure stupidity.
Yes, it's communism. And they want the government to somehow mandate it.
But they don't want government to own the means of production because to them, that is communism.
This is what Americans are taught now in school...no more individualism. "The Collective" and "we".

You still haven't looked at my post, #500.

And Costco has fewer employees per unit of sale, b/c it's almost all self-service.
