Rejected petition Make December 26th a None Retail Day with the same status as Christmas Day

Too many large retailers are forcing staff to work December 26 as a normal working day, even ignoring it's Bank Holiday Status. Give the day the same status as Christmas Day so staff can choose to spend time with their family without being penalised by employers.
