To: U.S. Congress We the undersigned petition the U.S. Congress to pass laws that require minimum of four weeks of vacation per year for all full time workers, and one week of vacation per 10 hours of work per week for part-time workers.
The citizens of the United States are behind most of the developed European countries in vacation time per year.
More vacation time means: Better quality of life for the citizens Better quality employees More time spent with family and less crimes More money for tourism More jobs for employees More tax dollars for the government Sincerely,

"The citizens of the United States are behind most of the developed European countries in vacation time per year."And, of course, their economies are strong, they have low unemployment, and they are a model of productivity. HAHAHAHAHAHA.....

Do they imagine they're going to get paid for doing nothing? Dream on...
To: jjm2111
I see a lot of layoffs coming (and a lot of part-time workers getting hired).

Government workers get about four weeks per year, and look at the models of efficiency they've become.

The citizens of the United States are behind most of the developed European countries in vacation time per year. I wish these idiots would stop comparing the US with the rest of the world.
The "developed" European countries are not our peers - no country is.
The US didn't grow through laziness. If people want a lot of vacation, they should quit their jobs.
To: jjm2111
and one week of vacation per 10 hours of work per week for part-time workers. Do I read that right as saying a part-time worker should get a week of vacation for ever 10 hours he works? OK...SURE....

This petition is right! We have the lowet amount of vacation time in the developed world.
The question is, do you live to work, or work to live? I choose the former.
4 weeks vacation, at a minimum!

I'll bet if they work for their companies for several years, they'll have just that! It's called an "incentive" for longevity.
To: jjm2111
This is un-freaking-real. Vacation is earned. It is not a right and business should not be requrired by any entity up to and including gubmint in any form, to be required to make it available at all for a mandated length.
To: cajungirl
Why don't you go to them?
To: Sunshine Sister
Right on! You should copy your post and go in there and post it. (psssst: you don't have to use your real email. I used
bob@aol.com. I'll bet it'll take lots of "bobs" @aol.com)
LOL!

Well,,,it sure would be nice if my daughters had four weeks so I could have them down more often. Yup, and it sure would be nice if there were also a fool-proof system of socialized medicine that attacted only the best people to become doctors (for lower pay then they now receive) and insured that everyone would receive only competant timely service.
To: FreeTally
Do you suppose this is THE Fred Savage? Seems like if it were, he'd be able to use his former celebrity to get more attention.
