Demand Walgreens to Close for Christmas Day for Employees


Demand Walgreens to Close for Christmas Day for Employees
The Issue
I am an employee at Walgreens, and for the past two years, my coworkers and I have worked every single holiday. We yearn for the opportunity to spend Christmas Day with our families. Our plea is simple - we urge Walgreens, a company that operates stores 7 days a week with many running 24 hours, to allow its employees one collective day off on Christmas.
Walgreens is a large corporation with substantial revenue. It's only fair that they consider the well-being of their employees who work tirelessly throughout the year. Upper management enjoys holidays off while store-level workers are left behind with "voluntary" sign-up sheets which in reality are not voluntary at all.
We appreciate the $25 Christmas bonus given by Walgreens but what we truly desire is time - time to celebrate this special day with our loved ones without worrying about work schedules or shifts.
By signing this petition, you will be supporting thousands of hardworking individuals who deserve to enjoy their holidays just like everyone else. Let's make our voices heard and urge Walgreens to close its doors for just one day - on Christmas Day. Please sign this petition today!
