Is there somewhere in the contract where the company must grant at least 1 optional per day. Can't seem to find.

Option days are earned paid time off. They are no different than a vacation day except that you can use them how YOU see fit instead of when your seniority allows you to.
As long as more seniority employee put in request , in writing , at least 3 days in advance.If two drivers put in for the same day and only one can have the day it does indeed go by seniority.
They are option days. You do not have to put in for them. Call in before your start time and tell them you are calling in and to pay you an option day, as they are suppose to anyway. I never requested a day off when I had option days.If two drivers put in for the same day and only one can have the day it does indeed go by seniority.
I tried this thinking with 20 years in two weeks broken into days would be beneficial. Well. I was wrong. Sorry were short staffed , sorry too many people off that day , sorry can't do it. Etc. next time I'm picking my vacation weeks friend this can't do it crap.In the central region we have 2 optional holidays. They are to be requested 8 days in advance and you will be notified the following day if granted or denied. The company must allow 1 person off each day for an option day. Article 15 page 209 of the central region supplement.
We also have 2 weeks of our vacation that we can break into single vacation days. They are used as our first 10 days off whether it be a call in or a requested day off. You must designate when picking vacations is you wish to break these weeks into single days. They do not have to allow any single vacation days but cannot unreasonably deny them. In other words if requested and staffing is available they should be granted.

They will charge with call off if that is done , even though option week days are available. That's how it has allways been in our building unfortunately.Just call in.
"Hello, This id JohnnyFootball, I am not available to work today. I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks" CLICK!!
Paid 9hrs just like that!!
They charge you with call off and DO NOT PAY YOU FOR DAY. So you are not " paid 9 hours just like that". Which is my whole point.Yes its an attendance occurrence. So what. You get 3 in a 90 day period and nothing happens. 4th is a warning letter in 90 days.
