> I get that they want to make sure workers have enough time off, but you could mandate days off for each worker without banning Sunday for everyone.

It is not about individual working hours. Those are restricted by other laws.

It is about having the same hours off as (most of) your family and friends, so you can spend time with them.

And what if your family and friends are Jewish or of a 7th-day protestant church? Banning Sunday work causes unnessecary difficulties at the state level. It. I feel it is positive as a societal norm but I myself recognize Saturday as the Sabbath and find it bizzare that protestants maintained the Sunday practice after leaving the Catholic church.
