I guess you don't know why Chik-Fil-A is closed on Sunday.
It's literally so people can attend church services.
This is right on their own
corporate website:
Chick-fil-A’s Corporate Purpose is “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A."
They've had this policy in place since 1946. They've since padded it with diplomatic context about spending time with family, DEI, and other more moderate tones, as society has shifted that way. But they
pissed off conservatives along the way, especially as their former CEO Dan Cathy was a right-wing nutjob, particularly demonizing LGBTQ rights and they've since become 'woke' in their eyes.
But before that, and most of this time, it was never about labor rights. It was, and still is to some extent, about services to God, of which your Sunday is work by another means.
