 Trend shows more people working at Christmas While emergency and medical service workers have always been on shift Christmas Day, it seems more employers are requiring staff to work on special holidays.Commentsview comments in forum Page 1 2 You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

I do mind working Christmas since I have family. But I have heard from my boss that in 4 years or less, we will be open every day of the year and that definitely includes Christmas day.
I WILL BE WORKING Christmas AND YES IT SUCKS.

Be glad you CAN.
Everything has become about making a buck and family values have become non-existent to employers. It all contributes to the further breakdown of our families and our society.
I think retailers, especially, should be forced to honour stat holidays and give their staff that time off with their families or be forced to pay a set fee for every hour they're in operation that day (eg: If retailers want to be open on stats, they should have to pay $5000/hour that they're open). If it became less lucrative, or they were actually losing money, they'd cut out this bullshit.
Working at Christmas is bullshit (unless you're an essential service worker, of course - unfortunately, they really have no choice).

If people didnt shop on stats the, stores wouldnt open their doors.

Agreed. Which is why I am not one of the "Boxing Day Sale" shoppers. I refuse to contribute to it.
Let's face facts, there are essential jobs that require someone to be working on Christmas Day. Imagine if a loved one had a stroke and needed an ambulance but the only response you got was "sorry but no one will be coming because it's Christmas." Heck, that article mentions how this one pizzeria owner actually LOVES working on Christmas Day. It all depends on a case by case basis, some people don't even have any family to go to anyway.

If I go out on Boxing Day, it's only for work because it pays time and a half. I have enough junk laying around the house.
