[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 781141, member: 11315"] I was thinking today about our UPS holidays while delivering during election day. UPS considers Columbus Day and Veterans Day as working holidays. It makes no sense on any level to consider Columbus Day a holiday, but UPS pays us double to work that day. Here's my idea : Move our working holiday to MLK day in January. More businesses are closed that day anyways and actually since UPS is based out of Atlanta (a big civil-rights city), a better PR move would be to make it a non-working holiday. This would force more businesses to close for the day and turn it into a national holiday on the lines of Thanksgiving and New Years Day. I know it would have to be structured in a new contract but I think it's a trailblazing idea and would have to make Fed-Ex take that day off too (BAD PR) so we wouldn't lose business anyways. Postal service is off regardless. Just a thought [/QUOTE]
