Does your employer force you to work on Holy Days of Obligation?

Do most trads work on holy days of obligation?
 
It seems the majority of trads work on holy days of obligation, as the Mass attendance at the evening Mass today was greater than that of the morning Masses today (feast of the Assumption).

Yes.  No allowance is made unless I apply six weeks in advance for a personal day, which they deduct from the five sick days.  It cannot be a Monday, Friday, or the day before or after a vacation.  If you’ve used up sick days, then no personal days are granted. I work 10 hours so I can’t get to Mass even if in the evening. 
I’m visiting a friend in the southeastern US, so I got to hear Mass today, first time in a long while!  The public schools all had their first day of classes today in this state.  There are severe penalties for students not showing up unless they are medically excused by a doctor; a parent note is not accepted.  Naturally, Catholic teachers are not permitted to take the day off.  I think it’s done on purpose.

Wow.  Many schools  get out late in June and start in August.   Then there are those summer school “programs” or headstart.  Anything to lengthen the liberal brainwashing of children.  In the past teachers, children, mothers would be off because school would start until After Labor Day in September.  Just another communist tactic.   

Many Catholics won’t celebrate the Feast of the Assumption but are getting ready for Yom Kippur and Ramadan.

I checked my phone and it doesn’t mention yesterday but it does recognize moslem and Jєωιѕн holidays.

I could've taken a vacation day but I preferred to go to the evening high Mass.
