No, the law was faulty, but there are those arguing how we are mistreating our heritage and getting away from "Judeo Christian" values. Yet, seemingly have no problem having people work on the seventh day.

I agree the law can't state a particular day but could have been rewritten to allow people their sabbath off, without retribution.

Yes, being a 7th is difficult, and granted Fri. and Sat. jobs are pretty sucky but sometimes those are all that are available. There are no excuses though for not allowing a person their sabbath off, legally they should have it off (many employers won't even hire you for that reason), but finding a lawyer to fight for it is not happening unless there is a lot of press in it and the 7th's try to avoid press, being very conservative (in most cases).

But then again what do I know?

PS thanks for the tip I am a lousy speller at times.
