June 20 is simply a day that commemorates the 3 Silesian rallies that took place in 1919, 1920 and 1921. This day is simply a tribute to the Silesian insurgents for their patriotic dedication to the Homeland. The Silesian Uprisings played an highly crucial function in the process of unifying Polish lands after the period of partitions and had a crucial impact on the formation of the western border of the reborn Republic. On 12 May 2022, the Act establishing the feast of the Sejm passed on the initiative of the president of Poland.
Is June 20 a day off from work?
Although June 20 is an crucial day for the past of Poland, it is not a free day. If we want to extend the weekend, we request to take a vacation or number on the goodwill of the employer who can offer a holiday. Nothing stands in the way of the employer announcing a day off work, as part of the alleged "bridge".

If you work in a private company, it depends on your employer's decision. God’s Body in 2025 is June 19 (Thursday), so taking leave for Friday June 20 will give a four-day weekend. This is simply a large chance for a short journey or rest.
