VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

My daughter works in the retail industry. Why doesn't she deserve to be able to take the holiday and spend it with her family? For retail workers, there is no choice. There is no, "take the day off". There is "be here or be fired".
