Keep Buisinesses Closed on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is for Family, not Shopping!

Created by E.F. on November 24, 2016

Every year, millions of Americans in retail are forced to work due to businesses not wanting to wait until Friday morning to shop. Retail workers do not get much time off with their families, and Thanksgiving is a national holiday . It is also a time to spend with family; and therefore, businesses should close on Thanksgiving and give holiday pay so employees can be with their families, too. Retail workers should not be excluded from being with their families.
