I will not shop in any establishment that makes its employees work on Thanksgiving [View all]

I know there are bigger issues in the world..... But this is just one more way that corporations are devaluing their workers.

Let them have one fucking day off to be with their families.

Personally, I will boycott for the entire Christmas season any store that is open on thanksgiving.

I am looking at you, Macy's and Kmart.


On Edit :

The OP is specifically about retail workers, who are in most cases forced to work on the holiday with no extra pay. There was a time in this country where holidays were PAID time off... at the very minimum, they should be time off.

Emergency workers are not the same... in most cases their contact gives them bonus pay for working the holidays.

There is absolutely no good reason for Macy's or Kmart to be open on Thanksgiving. And if enough of us refuse to patronize them on that holiday, maybe they wont open on Thanksgiving anymore.
