US Code Section Chapter 8 Section 220 shall state

-

"All businesses that engage in he sale of goods to the public in relatively small quantities for use or consumption rather than for resale that are not to be essential for transportation shall effectively be closed on Fourth Thursday of November and December 25th. All retailer workers who in work in a retail business which is considered to be "essential" by the Department of Labor shall have their wages paid at twice the rate of their contracted wages and for all hours that exceed eight hours, the paid wage shall be two and half times of the normal hourly wage.

Workers who in other industries that are essential by the Department of Labor shall be paid at double their hourly rate and two and half of times their hourly rates for working on Thanksgiving. Any worker that does not work in non essential job shall be required to be given day off by the employer. Violation of this section will result in $1000 fine for each violation of the law. For ten or more violations of this law in single transaction, the CEO/Owner of the company will face up a minimum of thirty days to six months of home confinement and $10,000 fine. Three or more violations of this law with ten or more single violations will result in a felony violation and up to three years in a federal penitentiary and $100,000 fine "

I just wrote this law. It will never become law. I do not personally believe in this law, but this is a draft model of the federal law that could be submitted to Congress.
