Someone insisted that there is work underway to get rid of Good Friday as a holiday. This sounds absolutely unlikely and I'm wondering if it is the weird Easter Monday holiday that is about to be scrubbed. And I bet its because they brought in Family Day. Easter Monday is only recognized by a few workplaces - mostly federal and is not a stat holiday. The cancellation of Good Friday was given as an example of the secular world taking away the Christian influence.
I have yet to meet a non-Christian that wants to abolish the Christian holidays - I also had not Christians workers that were quite happy with these days because they get paid time and a half to come in and work!
I'm going to have to check this out - I'm pretty sure we would have heard from the Unions if Good Friday was about to be abolished.
Interestingly, Calvin College used to hold classes for the morning of Good Friday - I don't know if they still do.
