And the money comes from where?If you work a holiday you should be paid extra, and I don't care who you are or who you work for. Pay up you cheap bastards.Unfortunately there is never a limit to these 'benevolent' laws passed in the interest of those less fortunate or to benefit a particular class of people.Thanksgiving is perhaps the only major celebration holiday in the United States that possesses a decidedly American and secular purpose. Actually, scratch that. It's one of two, New Years being the second. Point is, I find it perfectly acceptable for a state government to mandate private businesses to pay a reasonable holiday pay for these limited examples.
except the examples are never limited, and the state will expand the extra pay to more and more situations, because of course, its not thier money.
These slippery slope fallacies are always foolish. If this is the position you are going to take, then you must demand complete and total anarchy. The dissolution of all government, period. Reasonable laws of limited applicability do not cease to be reasonable simply because a different law of wide applicability is unreasonable.
So yes, this is a slippery slope...
I can almost guarantee that IF this is ever to become law, every union leader of every union representing public employees as well as unions representing nurses, airport workers and anyone else who must work holidays will scream a collective "ME TOO!!!!!"
Yeah, so it IS a slippery slope.
You don't think the business won't pass the additional cost to the consumer?
How often do you look in the mirror and exclaim "How stupid do you think I am"..
Look, moron. I know your game. I got your number.
You post garbage on here just to get a rise from people.
I think you are a bitter sad individual with no life and indoor plumbing problems.
You're easy.
