Federal Employees have dealt with pay freezes and furloughs over the past few years. Giving federal employees an extra holiday on Friday Dec. 26th, 2014 would be a good gesture to improve morale of the federal workforce. Some bases are forcing their employees to take leave or Leave Without Pay because of base shut-downs on this day. This is also consistent with past practice. Since 1952, Federal employees have had December 26 off every time it has fallen on a Friday. Our last petition we received 98,113 signatures. We were only 1,887 signatures short. We urge President Obama to issue an executive order.
