As usual, I forgot that most people have forgotten the definition of
the word "force," and thus drop to personal comments.

Nobody will be forced to work on Sunday, as I said.  Being forced to work
on Sunday is *not* the same as having willingness to work on Sunday as
a job requirement.

It isn't the same, but some might argue it's a fine line.  The fact remains
that most of the workforce doesn't even work Saturday right now.  Even
fewer will be working Sunday.  If you claim that the situation is
"work on Sunday or you won't work anywhere," then you must realize that
by all accounts Sunday opening will increase the number of jobs in that
sector, lessening the unemployment problem.  You can't scream "Sunday
opening will force us to work Sunday or be replaced by the unemployed"
and "Reduce unemployment" at the same time.

I don't have kids, and I do usually work Sundays.   And Saturdays.  And at
10 pm on Thursdays and most other times.
