Not everyone regards "Sunday" as a religious holiday. When I worked in the Middle East, we used to say "Thank God It's WEDNESDAY...." because that was the start of the weekend. We went back to work on Saturday.
The Sunday Delivery scheme sounds like a great opportunity for people who don't want to work full-time to make a little scratch--they aren't using regular employees for it, it's a part-time/non-career gig, and it is paying well above minimum:
Others just feel plain bad that their postal carrier is having to work on Sundays. Should we feel guilty?
The Sunday work is performed primarily by “non-career employees,” which is lingo for part-time employees. A U.S. Postal spokesman said these employees most likely would not receive as many hours as they do if it were not for Sunday delivery. Because of this, you will often see them not in uniform.
Dozens of job openings are listed on the U.S. Postal Service’s website, calling for temporary help on Sunday. Wages are listed at roughly $15.30 an hour, so if you think creating new jobs for people is a good thing, you probably don’t have to feel guilty.
