Don't you have 1 of January off? It's a public holiday here
Nope, I work in a facility that's 24 hour staffed. Holidays don't really apply to us. This was actually the first year I've even had Christmas off in like 5 years.
Want some help organizing a union? Paid holidays are something you can bargain for in a union contract, and I'm an experienced organizer
Do you get penalty rates?
A lot of service workers don't get New Years Day off, despite it being a federal holiday in the US.
The dollars must flow, or something like that.
Being a federal holiday doesn't mean shit in a country with the worst worker protections i the semi-developed world. No mandated holiday pay, no mandated vacations, just shut up and work
