Thanksgiving At Best Buy: Workers Rebel Against Early Black Friday Openings, Shortened Holiday
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/17/thanksgiving-best-buy-early-opening_n_1099569.html
In yet another sign of worker frustration over a shortened Thanksgiving holiday, an employee at a Best Buy in Tampa has launched a petition against his employer's decision to open earlier for the Black Friday shopping spree this year, claiming the midnight opening time will eat into workers' holiday time with their families.
The petition on Change.org, attributed to 8-year Best Buy veteran Rick Melaragni, comes on the heels of a similar, high-profile petition launched last week by a Target employee in Nebraska. The latter petition has racked up more than 150,000 signatures.
