they only work tuesdays and wednesday. every other day is a paid holiday
If a holiday falls on a weekend, typically the observance of the holiday is moved to the nearest weekday, such as the following Monday. This is done to ensure that people still have the opportunity to celebrate and have time off work or school.
If Christmas falls on a Monday, it may affect holiday plans by potentially requiring time off work or school to celebrate. It could also impact travel arrangements and the scheduling of gatherings with family and friends.
This year of 2012, the Monday which is after Veteran's Day is when the Post Offices are not open since it is a federal holiday. Why not Sunday? Most Post Offices don't work on Sunday anyway.

Fair Monday is the Monday after the second Friday in July

That depends entirely on your employer. If you don't normally work on Saturday, no, you would not normally be paid for it. Most employers will give Friday or Monday off when the holiday falls on a weekend. Check your paid holiday schedule for your company.
Because you do not work on Sunday.
The question is not well phrased. If an hourly employee is required to work on a federal holiday, usually the employer is obliged to pay time-and-a-half. Workers on days that are not federal holidays get regular pay. If the actual holiday falls on a day that isn't the federally observed holiday (for example, the actual holiday falls on a Saturday, but the observed holiday is the following Monday, and a particular employee normally works on Saturdays), tough noogies, the employer is not required to pay a bonus to people who work on that holiday... only the official federal holiday counts. Also, salaried employees are usually expected to "work to the job, not to the clock." If you're on salary and it's necessary for you to work on a holiday, then you work on the holiday. You get no bonus pay for doing so; it's considered part of your job and your compensation is supposed to already take into account the fact that you may have to work overtime or holidays. (However, most employers who require salaried employees to work on holidays give them compensatory leave ... they get to take some other day off instead of having the holiday off).
When a holiday falls on a weekend, the observance and celebration of that holiday may be moved to the nearest weekday to allow people to have a day off work or school to celebrate.
Because it would be pointless having a bank holiday on Wednesday lets say. It wouldn't even feel like a holiday because you have work the next two days after. At least with monday you have a longer time off work with not working the weekend.
