“date -d” command fails on Docker Alpine Linux container

I built [Alpine Linux][1] in a [Docker container][2] with the following Dockerfile:

FROM alpine:3.2
RUN apk add --update jq curl && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

the build run successfully:

$ docker build -t collector .

anyway when I run `date -d` it fails:

$ docker run -i -t collector sh
/ # date -d yesterday
date: invalid date 'yesterday'
/ # date -d now
date: invalid date 'now'
/ # date -d next-month
date: invalid date 'next-month'

while the rest of the options seem running ok:

/ # date
Sat May 30 18:57:24 UTC 2015
/ # date +"%A"
Saturday
/ # date +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"
