A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

...i'm down for cancelling f*cking christmas; federal holidays should be secular...

...give us the solstices, equinoxes, and earth day and i'm pretty good; throw in labor day and memorial day if you want to bump it up to the private-sector seven...

As a Pagan, if you want federal holidays to be secular then solstices and equinoxes couldn't be counted. Many Pagans (not all) observe them as holy days along with Feb 1-2 (Imbolc), May 1 (Bealtaine - there are multiple spellings this one), August 1 (Lammas/Lughnasadh), and Halloween (Samhain). And I'm sure Pagans that celebrate non-European traditions have other days, I just can't speak to them personally.
