If we had that language in our supplement I would bid all my vacations over paid holidays.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
That's what cabo is for.
Jones is right. I would have been all over that!

Wah
Who want's to go to Cabo with a bunch of old UPSers high enough in seniority to get that week off?

The highest seniority guys take them. When you add all the holidays in with the 5 days from splitting a vacation week and the 3 single optional days you literally can take every Friday off from the end of May until the beginning of September. I will be number 4 in building seniority next year and my wife works at a local college with every Friday off in the summer.

I worked today---we started at 8am---the air didn't show up until 10am---they had us wash pkg cars for 2 hours. Ran a combined route---100 stops----then I had to go help out a younger driver (20 stops). Did a couple of OCA's and picked up the drop boxes in trace. Swept the UPS Store/Staples/MBE to make it easier for me on Thursday----got yelled at for sweeping the UPS Store/Staples/MBE. Punched out at 1745. Code 05.

Code 05? That's just regular straight time. Code 5E is double-time [here] plus your holiday 8. Sure hope you didn't use Code 05 and they missed it. You'll be owed a bunch of money.

Actually 5E is air driver rate.

05 is the correct code, pay actual. 06 is guarantee.

Correction, 5W. It is NOT just 05. There were two codes up on the board at the PCM. One was for the Air Drivers we used from the Airport, and the other was for FT drivers. 05 is just straight time any time of the year.
I can see that depending on your priorities, but for instance I take Thanksgiving week every year and with that language I would get a week I want anyway plus two more optionals to use whenever. I'll be bringing this up at our next "contract goals" meeting.

We are paid straight time here when we work a holiday.

Not [here] it isn't. For double time it's 5W for FT drivers, 5E for Air Drivers. During the regular year of they have a light trip sitting and want someone to run it without a lunch they'll ask someone if they want to "code five" and run it "straight time". Today is different because of the holiday.

1) Are you a FT driver?
2) You're telling me you do NOT get time and a half, or double time like some of us PLUS your 8 hours holiday pay?

OK, because my OCD wouldn't let me forget about it until I knew for sure, I texted 5 other drivers, and my steward. In my Center we had two codes today. 5B for the Air Drivers, 5E for those of us that are FT. [Here], and ONLY [here], that's what we were instructed to code. 8 hours holiday pay, plus double time. If some of you had to work today at anything than this, then it's different in your Local. I was correct earlier when I said we were a code 5E today. 8+ Double.

Different locals have different rules. Here (southern supplement )under article 60 anyone forced is paid double time, volunteers is straight. With that being said, the company pays everyone as double since the volunteers only come in on premium days for premium pay. If the company decided to be nitpicky about who was forced and who wasn't (there is no code to distinguish the two) then they'd end up forcing lower seniority people and paying double time to them anyways.
