This strikes me as very naive.  Both my parents worked in
essential services.  Both had to work Sundays.  Neither liked
it very much, but it was part of the job.  Unless you offer
colossal shift bonuses for working Sundays, I don't think you
can be guaranteed of finding enough volunteers to work Sunday.
Some people _will_ be forced to work on Sunday.
