    Yeah sure, and those changes will likely to be to the benefit of large corporations and make things worse for the working class.

    But don’t pay attention to that, remember… having fewer paid holidays will somehow benefit non-Christians.

    Come to think of it, I think something like 50% of our paid holidays are problematic in some way or another. Think of the profits I mean progressive values we could promote by eliminating them!

        Is “floating holidays” a new term for vacation time? Sure yeah businesses will be completely fine with fewer stat holidays so employees will have to use their “floating holiday time” (aka vacation time) for when they want to visit their family on Christmas. This benefits non-Christians because they will no longer get time and a half if they work on Christmas! It’s a win-win proposition! With businesses getting the win-win at the expense of all employees (bot Christian and non-Christian).

        It’s kinda like when they eliminated laws against shopping on Sunday. Before they did that retail workers had one day per week that they could make plans to be with their family. But now, retail workers have to be prepared to be called into work seven days a week. Can’t make plans on Sunday anymore, but it’s good to screw over all workers because it’ll upset Christians.

          The logical distinction between vacation time and a floating holiday would be employers being required to approve selected floating holidays, while they can generally deny vacation time at specific times.

          Whether that’s how they’re typically used. I have no idea
