Closed petition Require shops to close on Boxing Day and New Year's Day
Closed on
I believe that at Christmas and New Years retail staff should be allowed a proper break from work. This time should be for our loved ones, not at work. We are asking for all stores to be required to close on Boxing Day and New Year's Day so that staff can spend these holidays with their families.
By closing stores on these 2 days, we can ensure that everyone gets an opportunity to enjoy these special moments with their loved ones without worrying about work commitments. Let us stand together to prioritise people over profits during this festive season.
