    A lot of people I know happily work during certain holidays since they get double pay,

    In the US it’s usually just time and a half

      The US gets a raw deal when it comes to workers’ rights in general. In Germany the situation is much better but they cling to the Christian traditional holiday thing and sometimes explain it as a workers’ rights thing when it doesn’t at all need to be like that. Honestly it feels mostly just conservativism.
