Gov. Chris Christie will not give state workers the day off the Friday after Thanksgiving, his office said Wednesday.
He also urged lawmakers to deny a request by unions to let them have Black Friday off this year in exchange for working another paid holiday, Lincoln’s birthday, in 2011, which is one of 13 paid holidays off that state workers contractually receive.
The governor’s decision means that about 1,000 employees in Cumberland County will be sharing turkey leftovers with co-workers Friday.
