this is a couple of interesting article that I found about the sunday law

Virginia Lawmakers Inadvertently Reinstate Day of Rest Requirement
July 1, 2004

In an effort to repeal the state's antiquated and unconstitutional “blue laws,” the Virginia legislature inadvertently repealed the amendments to those laws, which exempted many businesses from the laws' requirements, without repealing the actual laws. As a result, as of today, July 1, 2004, Virginia blue laws, including a statutory requirement that employees be given a 24-hour rest period each week, are once again in effect.

The laws require, among other things, that employers give employees at least 24 hours of rest each week in addition to the regular periods of rest normally allowed or legally required in each working day. The laws permit nonmanagement employees to use either Saturday or Sunday as their day of rest. To use Sunday as their day of rest, employees need only file a written notice with the employer. To use Saturday, employees must file a written notice, conscientiously believe that Saturday ought to be observed as the Sabbath, and actually refrain “from all secular business and labor on that day” Va. Code Ann. § 40.1-28.3.

Ford & Harrison attorneys have contacted several officials in Virginia regarding the impact of this legislation, including the Governor's office, the Attorney General, and the Virginia Department of Labor. Officially, this problem cannot be resolved until the Virginia Legislature reconvenes in January 2005 and again amends the current statute. However, everyone is aware of the negative consequences that could result before the law can be amended and is hoping for guidance from the Governor's office that will minimize the impact this legislation could have on Virginia's businesses.

Bottom Line for Employers
Our past experience has been that employees with genuine religious beliefs will use the available accommodations so they are able to work a full schedule while still reserving time off to practice their religious beliefs. However, should you receive written notice from an employee based in Virginia designating Sunday (or Saturday) as his or her legally entitled day of rest, we recommend that you honor this request until the legislation is changed in January 2005 or until we receive guidance from the Governor's office that suggests an alternative solution. Employees requesting this day of rest, however, should be made aware that their day of rest will be unpaid and that it will be granted only until the error in the law is corrected or otherwise clarified. If you have any questions about this law or any labor or employment related question, please contact John Stembridge, Tom Kassin or the Ford & Harrison attorney with whom you usually work.

The August 2, 2004 "TIME" Magazine, had an article by Nancy Gibbs,
"If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan," Albert Schweitzer


Pass laws to post the commandments, and Bring the Nation Back to God.

"W A S H I N G T O N, June 18 — By approving a bill to curb juvenile violence Thursday, House lawmakers seem determined to go beyond creating a “more perfect union,” to creating a more “moral” one.
After hours of rhetoric about bringing religion into public life and increasing the nation’s morality, House lawmakers included in the bill a measure that would allow schools and government buildings to post the Ten Commandments.
”The focus must be returned to God,” said Rep. Tom DeLay, the House Republican whip and a driving force for cultural conservative issues. “Our nation will only be healed through a rebirth of religious conviction and moral certitude.”....
The House voted 248-180 to allow states to display the Ten Commandments on public property, despite objections that the measure was unconstitutional.

All of this of course is breaking down the wall between church and state. It is this very wall that has given us the freedoms we so value. It is this that has protected those, not members of the mainline churches, from persecution.

How is this breaking down anything? It's just giving employees a day off, they can do with it what they choose. If they want to practice their religion or just sit around drink beer. Sounds like it's up to the employee.

You know... those who make our laws.. believe in the word of god... and they make our laws...

I'm not in favor of anything that slows productivity. I hate trying to get something done on a weekend, and not being able to finish because a store is closed and I lack some part. The goverment is the worst. These people by definition work for us, why should we have to tailor our day around them when we need their services? If I had my way goverment offices would be open 24/7, no holidays, and minimum wage!

Sorry about the rant....now where'd I put that Prozac?

It's not just that.. But if they want to give a day off because it's a "day of rest" according to the bible.. why not give Saturday? That's the holy day to the Jewish... Fridays to the Islamic... (last I knew anyways)

Honestly... We cannot shut down a day of work... the world doesn't allow that...

I agree! And that day off for us? It should be paid!
