Pees in the brown Koolaid
UPS management shoots its wounded and eats its young. There are about a zillion ways to screw you out of the pay you are entitled to and UPS has a formula all figured out for every one of them. The entire foundation of UPS's business model is designed around coercing as many of its people as possible into donating free labor and working off of the clock.

Here is the update I spoke of:
we are pleased to announce that part-time supervisors will receive 5.5 hours of pay, and full-time specialists will receive 8.0 hours of pay, for each of the holidays listed below:
· Thanksgiving Day
· Day after Thanksgiving
· Christmas Eve (UPS Freight Only)
· Christmas Day
· New Year’s Eve (excluding UPS Freight)
· New Year’s Day, 2015
Holiday paid hours will be added to hours worked to determine total hours paid for the holiday week. Part-time supervisors and full-time specialists who work on a UPS-observed holiday will be paid double time for hours worked in addition to their holiday pay, but will no longer be eligible for an additional day off.

I don't think you are following the conversation correctly. They get paid for hours worked - in fact, if they work less than 27.5 they get paid for hours not worked. Their bosses are not violating labor laws. Period.

The reference is a memo that came out from corporate in the form of an email.
Finance has also setup a specific query type in Time and Labor for Friday After Thanksgiving in case anyone
has questions. You could have your FT sup send in an inquiry for clarification. They are actually using the acronym - FAT.
No, I am not making this up.

If UPS follows labor laws, what was that lawsuit in CA regarding? The kool-aid drinkers are punch drunk.

Which one?
If you are talking about the one over pt sup hours, that was a salary/exempt issue that ups lost/caved on depending on your point of vew, and changed its national policies to be in compliance with labor laws. That is when all pt sups went on PTRS to track hours and make sure all hours worked are paid. Hence, they are not currently violating labor laws. This was what 10 years ago? more? I can't remember.
The anti-ups kool-aid is in my experience even more addictive than the other flavor - and blinds people even more.

Would it be out of line for me to ask, what extent your experience is?
