[GPSCC-chat] Pledge to Not Shop on Thanksgiving

[John Thielking]

Subject: Pledge to Not Shop on Thanksgiving

Hi,

In retail, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day are the only two holidays that workers traditionally receive. Now that many stores are choosing to open on Thanksgiving, that break is being taken away, denying retail workers the rare opportunity to spend a holiday with their families. And most of these workers are only being paid minimum wage for their trouble. 
 
A holiday should not be a luxury for the rich – all workers deserve time to spend with loved ones.

That's why I signed a petition to Retail CEOs.

Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Thanks!
