declare the day after Thanksgiving a holiday for Federal Employees.

Created by J.A. on October 17, 2015

Federal Employees have dealt with pay freezes and furloughs over the past few years. Giving federal employees an extra holiday on November 27th, 2015 would be a good gesture to improve morale of the federal workforce. Also as a VBA employee, we have been working mandatory overtime (OT) for the past year. Even though mandatory overtime has ended, employees continue to work OT on a voluntary basis. In addition, this is also consistent with past practice. President Obama provided a full-day, Friday, November 28, 2014, Monday Dec. 24, 2012 and a half-day off on Thursday, Dec. 24, 2009. Thank you for your attention to this request.
