for posting in mylot for the fourth? Anyone think of this before. Working on holidays or overtime we get more pay in working a offline job. Wonders if we could earn that online too... Just a thought that I wanted to share. lol

Only if it is a union job. I had a union job and if I would have had to work a holiday I would have gotten triple pay. I really wanted to work on a holiday but the store was closed on all holidays. My b/f has to work today but he and the job it not union so he gets regular pay.

Yes I know I live in the USA, in the Seattle Washington area. Just saying only extra pay applies to union jobs or a really great company that values their employees.

Most places that are open in the US today are not unionised anymore.. So it is only regular pay for most working to day... Hey, have to be thankful they have a job to work.

Hahahahahaa - good one. I don't think so though, unfortunately. If they do this for US residents, they must do it for the other countries as well. Not 4th of July but that country's holidays. Y'know what I mean. Maybe Christmas and New Years - since we all celebrate the same date (Dec 25th and Jan. 1st, respectively). But I doubt it though. Good thoughts though!

Actually the governments may celebrate the new year at the same time, but not all the people do. They have their own days to celebrate that. Still that would be a good idea...lol

Thank you, you probably have a day like that in your country, just not on the same day. I hope you had a good weekend though.
