Trish, You have a *legal right* to not work for religious reasons! Especially for a religious holiday! I do not know where you live/work; I would encourage you to talk with your city's Human Rights/Civil Rights Department, as well as your company's human resources department and/or any/all 'higher-ups'. You have RIGHTS! Employers, not even Hobby Lobby, cannot force you to work on a religious holiday! I totally get our society's total consumption of Christianity--pisses me off, too! Until more of us, ie YOU in this case, speak up, company's will have all power over us. Chris P. On Aug 26, 2014 2:34 PM, "Sabine Meyer" <meye0336@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Oh, you should be crabby.
