Here in Local 89 we always work the "lesser holidays," i.e Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc but then we have the next day off. I guess most don't care because you get double time for the day. The ones that don't care about that just don't show up anyway.

Deplorable.
You sure about 177? I'm on vacation that week regardless, but from what I'm hearing, day after is business as normal.

Oh, but it is possible.

Yep, 177 is off, that is, they can't make anyone work. Work will be purely voluntary, with double-time pay.

It's 60 hours in a 7 day period, unless the company qualifies for and declares they are using 70 hours in 8 days. AFAIK UPS is 60/7
I'm pretty sure a helper is an employee, not a passenger.
After reaching the limit (60 or 70), you cannot drive on the public roadway anymore. You can still drive on company property (shifting feeders, for example), or work inside. You must have proper 34 hour break before restarting driving duties.

If you believe there won't be an operation on December 25th in the very soon future, you are mistaken. December 25th is a Christian holiday and UPS is NOT a Christian company. Amazon has changed the way we do business moving forward. Holidays may be a thing of the past if we all aren't careful.

We are in the service industry. We are not 8 to 4:30 Joe lunch box. We adapt or disappear.

As has been noted in other threads, labor day is more sacred to the union than Christmas. It is the only holiday considered off limits.

Last year we took quite the p.r. hit by NOT working Christmas to clean up the mess.
I will never work a Christmas holiday. They can kiss my big black ass if they'd expect to see my smiling face there on Christmas day

I personally wouldn't grieve that as I wouldn't be willing to work Christmas, but if I were willing, it would be easy sup working grievance.

Those of us with high seniority won't have to work Christmas

They would have the media "randomly" interview an "average driver" that would wax poetically about how we are "all about service" and how we are "dedicated to making sure everyone gets their Christmas present." Then they would interview an "average customer" that would gush about how "our driver is so wonderful and UPS cares so much about the customer."
The next sound you would hear is every UPS employee not involved with the above farce puking their guts out because no amount of over time could make that crap sandwich palatable.
