And most people didn’t go to church. They did the same stuff everyone else who has weekends off do. But they could do it together with their friends and families.

CFA Mandating an unpaid day off isn’t desirable for low wage earners. At best they’re picking up another shift somewhere else, but I doubt they’re using it for anything else. Now maybe if CFA paid a living wage and gives their employees full -time hours, then maybe they’re enjoying the finer things in life on their Sunday off. Harkening back to the good old days when everything was closed on Sunday is not what anybody asked for or wants.
