New York
After weeks of nationwide demonstrations over the death of George Floyd and racial injustices, companies are taking action to address their own issues with racial inequalities and to better support their black employees. Last week, Nike, Twitter and a handful of other companies said they would observe June 19, or Juneteenth, as a paid holiday. Since then, a number of others have followed their lead.
— Ben & Jerry's June 18, 2020 JCPenney is giving corporate employees paid time off on June 19, and providing additional holiday pay for retail associates scheduled to work that day. Fellow retail giant Target is also making Juneteenth a paid company holiday, and providing hourly workers with time and a half pay.
Stereotyping black Americans as uneducated minimum wage workers while honoring the end of slavery. This is so CNN.
Do I get scottish heritage day off? how about potato famine remembrance day? holocaust memorial day?
Hey isn't BlackFriday racist. Why don't you cancel that too?
Proud to work for a company and a campaign that partakes in this celebration.
Cancel all meetings what good it that? That is what other companies are doing. Its a learning day. I am learning that your bottom line is more important.
