Article 61, section G, line 6.
Southern Region Supplemental Agreement pg. 208.
Basically, no vacations from the Monday following Thanksgiving until December 25th.
It may be different in other supplements. | |

I was going to go NUTS sitting at home, so I worked. For several years prior to that when I was with a retail employer, I took my vacation the week of Thanksgiving. One year, my boss made a sarcastic comment about not letting me take my vacation. Yours truly almost went ballistic. Ten minutes later, she called my cashier terminal and said, "You're good to go. I was having a little fun. Have a great vacation!" -Rocky

It was offered to us when we picked our vacations earlier this year. I thought about taking but figured i was already gonna have 2 days off so wasn't going to bother. I have the week of Halloween off instead. Unfortunately trickor-treat is the week before so I will have to take some personal time so I can be home to take my little girl out for her first candy collection. | |
