According to the Telegraph, a director at a small concrete company even claims that taking just one day off could actually cost him around £50,000 in losses! Others are even going as far as demanding their workers turn up on the royal wedding day or face a day without pay.

The reason why many firms aren't willing to give employees time off is because they're already struggling due to the effects of the crippling winter spell in Britain back in mid-December 2010, which hindered them from conducting any business.  However, Britain's largest labor union, the GMB, is fighting for workers' rights, saying that 'a holiday is a holiday' and employees should be able to stay home and enjoy the festivities.

Well, we're pretty sure that either way, business will go on as usual in Britain.
