[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 1330122, member: 11315"] We WORK for UPS for a living. Not the union. We are compensated fairly, contractually, and by all accounts the union makes sure of this. There's a price to be paid for being a top earner, be it unloading trailers for 6 years, waiting 4 years for top rate, or working on Black Friday. CHRIST 40% of the employees work that day anyways. Some consequences for a full day of work will be : 1) That some businesses who usually close because of non-pickups by us will stay open. Now those businesses will run meaning other employees who are used to the day off will be working. 2) Now Fed-Ex will match us so they won't lose important holiday volume from us. 3) Possible mass callouts because of family commitments. 4) Union may not ok helpers so most drivers will be required to work regardless of family commitments Being forced to work on a holiday will pay BIG on that paycheck.
