Require retail stores to be closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Created by C.W. on November 15, 2013

Many retail stores across The United States are REQUIRING their employees work on Thanksgiving and Christmas- both days are meant to be spent with family and friends. This means retail workers must choose between spending time with their families or the paycheck to support their families, so other Americans can buy non-essential products at sale prices.
Employees work especially hard during November and December so customers can be prepared for traditions and festivities, yet do not receive the opportunity to spend these days with their families without fear of losing their job.
