Good Friday Shopping

Once again we have had the annual farce of employees being banned from earning money on Good Friday. Apart from a few exceptions, employees are not allowed to earn what could be pay rates 2.5 times normal by working on Good Friday.

Good to see a few employers ignore (for which they will be fined) what is effectively a religious prohibition on being open for business, no doubt based on the assumptions we are all good Christians who should be at Church.

How stupid is it to have a four-day holiday when you can’t shop on two of those four days?
