  2. (And this is a completely different discussion) How does one draw the line on what is a religious holiday? That opens up a whole new argument (however, mostly rhetorical).
I was pointing out to BDB why companies don't give out paid religious holidays for everyone. That's what floating holidays are for.


I wasn't disagreeing with JWBear. It makes sense to close the plant when over half the staff would have been out on that day anyways.
