You guys have lousy holidays, but you'd need to acknowledge
the need for collective action if you wanted to improve things.
Yeah; maybe. Here, we usually start off new on a job
with 2 weeks a year of paid vacation and about 10 holidays
totaling 4 work weeks off a year. As time passes with seniority
on a job, most of the time there are
added weeks of vacation time,
with the number of legal holidays remaining constant,
e.g. Christmas, New Year 's Day, George Washington 's Birthday, the 4th of July, etc.
