This is correct, but there's also no reason we couldn't have had both.

Should have moved the premium day to Saturday and watch as we get service again bc people are fighting for that shift. People wanted the Sunday shift because it was slow and paid premium time. I don’t see any advantage to working the weekend at all anymore and if it were me I would be available m-f only on any retail job app.

Ping the “closed on sunday, no one wants to work” signs.

It wasn’t even so much fiscally conservative politicians so much as the stores and retail interests.

Yeah probably because it was Baker who approved it brought forth from an organization made of businesses and fiscal conservatives in our own government. The Venn diagram is a circle and we all got fucked. I for one like having holidays off and with no force to discourage opening on them we’ll have to work them.

We should try. But this time come back harder and get double time on Sundays and holidays.

I agree, but ultimately it’s a balancing act of placating fiscally conservative politicians while still increasing wages for most.

So the reason why we are going to lose having holidays is because people with the level of wealth we’ll never achieve said it was bad for them. They can go to hell.
