If we really cared about mothers and fathers then their respective Days would be paid holidays; three-day weekends. Enough with this commemorative Sunday bs.
20% reduction in work days, 50% increase in leisure days
They should just commit to 4 day work-weeks.
In the US Father’s Day and Juneteenth are the same weekend and some places are doing a 3 day weekend
Juneteenth is a federal holiday, but private employers don’t have to observe it. Mine sure doesn’t. I have never heard of any employer observing Mother’s or Father’s day with a paid holiday.
If we’re making rules, I’d take voting day over mother’s day any time.
Fuck yeah
I‘ve made that (30h work week) possible for myself by living frugally and not having children, though I hope eventually this desire can reach the unions all the rest too. 4 day week at full pay would be so nice!
