[QUOTE="km3, post: 1938453, member: 56117"] Okay, let me try to be the one to clarify now. I was reading on here, in the original topic in the UPS Discussions forum about being forced to work on the day after Thanksgiving, and decided to take a look at my Union Book for myself. I noticed that it said that if "regular seniority employees" were required to work on holidays, they get paid double their normal rate with a guarantee of 4 hours (for part-timers such as myself). (Article 15.4) I posted this thread, and spoke with my steward later that same night. At this point, I was only trying to clarify whether I would still be paid double the rate if I "made myself available" to work those days, because the language says if you're [I]required[/I] to work. (I also wanted to confirm with my steward that we're covered by the Central Supplement since we're technically in the Desert Mountain region, and he insists we are.) It was when I spoke with my steward that he told me that the double pay comes from holiday pay (for which I am apparently ineligible until 1 year of employment) and that "regular seniority employees" are employees with 1 year of seniority (according to Article 1.1 as mentioned above, I now know this to be false). Now, I'm still confused about whether I get double pay or not. Article 15.4 certainly says nothing about holiday pay, only that you shall be paid twice the normal amount if required to work (which I am on Friday). Do I still get paid double if I don't have the holiday pay benefit yet? Yes, sorry. I meant 15.1, not 1.1. [/QUOTE]
