NEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 28: Members and supporters of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) protest outside a Trader Joes store in Manhattan February 28, 2011 in New York City. The Florida farmworkers pick tomatoes for Trader Joes and other companies and are asking for workplace conditions to improve and for wages, which havent been raised since 1978, to be increased. The workers say Trader Joes has refused to sign a food pledge to pay an extra penny per pound of tomatoes. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images) (2011 Getty Images)

With the holidays just around the corner, most employees are thinking about taking time off work.
