But there are different perspectives. When I was a lad I worked all winter holidays that I could - got time off in lieu which I could use in the summer when there was a good reason for a holiday. Also got me out of the tedium of 'christmas celebrations'. And I did work in the health service so it was useful work, I think.
But it does all depend on your viewpoint, and the important thing, really, is that people should have the choice ... unfortunately no longer an accepted truth: health workers, police, some transport people were the exception, now compulsory holiday working is approaching the norm ....
Hope that all enjoy their holidays, whenever they get them ....
