[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 578767, member: 9789"] I do not disagree with taking vacation there is NO WAY, I would ever work through vacation being in management. But I do know management who do this. Obviously management is different, we get paid whether we take vaca or not. It has been 30 years since I was a driver. I can certainly understand not having enough money to go on a real vacation. I got the general feeling that this thread was started over sour grapes against how seniority works. I just can't imagine a senior person taking a prime week of vacation with an INTENT of working instead? Why would someone do that? So, if we assume that any person who works is not trying to screw over another Teamster, there must be another reason this is happening.... which means that a solution could be found. My question is .... What language do you use to file a grievance? Is there something in the contract that prohibits working your vacation? Or is the grievance against some procedure that management is doing or not doing? You were talking about a lot of different things going (or not going) on in your second paragraph. And you say you have filed 4 so far.... What have the outcomes been? This seems like one of those issues that could somehow be worked out to everyone's satisfaction at the local level. I really don't understand what the hub-bub is all about. [/QUOTE]
