Each seller is interested in the question "When is the Day of Trading?" On May 8, 2013, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin issued a decree stating the following: “Trade Day is a
professional holiday. In 2014, appoint him on the last Saturday in July. "
History of a professional holiday
Buying and selling is a very important aspect of the economy. For several thousand years BC, people worshiped and prayed to the gods of commerce, asked to grant success in trade affairs and transactions. When Trade Day was celebrated in the Soviet Union, it was allotted the same time as now - the fourth Saturday of July. That was from 1966 to 1988. A little later, on the first of November 1988, the professional holiday of sellers was moved from the last Saturday of July to the penultimate Sunday of March. It turned out an unusual situation - as they used to celebrate the holiday in the summer, they continued. But, according to the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the Day of the Trade Worker was also celebrated in March.
Hard and responsible work
In the Middle Ages, only men were engaged in buying and selling, but in the modern world this industry is considered to be female. Imagine what would happen if there were no sellers? A trade worker is a very hard and responsible work. Many stores in our country open at eight in the morning and close at ten in the evening. In addition, there is liability. If the goods are damaged or as a result of the audit there is a shortage, then the seller has to pay. Trade Day in Russia is dedicated to these very specialists, their daily work and diligence.
World Trade Day - what date is it celebrated?
There is World Fair Trade Day - this is the second Saturday in May. This month itself is considered a fair trade period. The essence of the holiday is that the World Fair Trade organization upholds international rules and trade policy. The focus is on the production of trade items. The main requirement: that all goods were made without the use of child and slave labor.
Two holidays
In fact, in our country there are 2 trade holidays - in March and in July. The fact that people celebrate the old fashioned way. Very often professional "Seller's Day" is celebrated on the penultimate Sunday of July. But still, most workers mark it right at the workplace. Employers do not consider it necessary to arrange a day off. But some still go out to the countryside as a team or go to a restaurant.
How to celebrate?
When the day of trading is celebrated in the summer, it is most relevant for the whole team to go into nature. If the store still works on this holiday, then you can celebrate the next weekend. You can note after a hard day, for example, a trip to a restaurant. The scenario for this professional celebration can be devised independently. In some stores, when Trade Day is celebrated, the authorities give everyone a day off and celebrate with the team. Many managers of large outlets even give gifts or bonuses to employees.
