Are Movie Theaters Open on Labour Day?

Labour Day is the day on which most institutions and public places shut their operations to highlight the hard graft of workers from all walks of life. It is celebrated on the first Monday of September in the USA. Labour day is declared as a federal holiday, therefore, markets and most places of entertainment remain closed.

However, there is one place of entertainment that never closes on federal holidays; even on Christmas and Thanksgiving.

That place of entertainment is referred to as the movie theater. The question arises: Does the movie theater remain open on Labour Day? Don’t the movie theater authorities give a day off to their workers on the labor day as well?

Does the movie theater remain open on Labour day?

Yes, movie theaters are usually open on labour day. They are not bound by law to remain open. It’s just that the authorities do not want to miss the chance of earning more than the regular days. Therefore, they prefer to remain open even on labour day. Since the workers do not get a day off when everyone is having quality family time, the movie theatre authorities compensate them for that.

Movie theaters were closed on Labour day the last two years, however, they would continue to remain open from now on

The years when despite the lockdown corona cases were increasing, the Movie theaters were ordered to remain closed on all federal holidays. Therefore, in these two years the movie theaters were closed on labour day.

Now the corona situation is not alarming at all, the movie theater would continue to follow the old routine.

If movie theaters can remain open on Christmas, Labour day is not a valid reason to shut down operations

Thanksgiving and Christmas are the two holidays when the markets and most places of entertainment shut down.

The movie theater is an exception that remains open even on these big federal holidays. If the movie theaters choose to keep people entertained even on those days, why would they shut down on Labour day?
