Moveable Mondays for Holidays Debate Stirring Publics
A proposal to shift major US holidays to Mondays to create five long weekends gains growing support. It would merge Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays into Presidents Day on the third Monday in February, keep Memorial Day on the last Monday in May, place the Fourth of July on the first Monday, and move Thanksgiving to the fourth Monday in November while Labor Day remains unchanged. The plan prompts concerns about infrastructure and labor needs to handle increased leisure and payroll requirements.
