Or, if you are a rail worker, more than one day off a month. Not, one day plus weekends, mind you, one day period.

Yeah good luck with that. In the US capitalism is first and last, it's god, it determines everything. Votes vote against their own interests because capitalism. Way too many religious persons see Jesus more like a capitalistic investor than the socialist heretic he was. If the rich and greedy can no longer squeeze out the poor and vulnerable then america stops being America.
Never going to happen

If you're going for a whole month off, why August, the hottest, shittiest month of the year?
July and August are most common because they overlap with summer break from school, which means families can plan a trip together.

Team leader from Germany here: This might oversell European holiday-regulations a fair bit here. Not one of the people in my team will get one whole month off in summer. How's that supposed to work? I can spare two people on holiday at any given time, So if all of my 13 workers want to have a week or two in July/August/September, none of them can have more than three weeks, and you'd have to be lucky for 3 weeks to align with the other's wishes. Otherwise, two weeks is realistic.

I remember, few years back I had conversation about PTO with American. It blew his mind when I told him that I took two weeks PTO without any problem.
If I can't have both, I'll take either this, or working 4 days (i.e. 32 hr) a week.
