Update....I can't find my contract. I'm sorry If I've offended you contract Gods. Please forgive me and don't send me to eternal IBT hell. I'll repent.
Seriously, for you guys who get bent out of shape for a simple question, I feel sorry for the people around you. You have got to be uptight and miserable. Sorry if it's so hard to answer a simple question. The fact of the matter is, it doesn't matter what the contract says. UPS will do what they want and contract be damned. Apologies for the rant, but the holier than thou for reading the contract get really old really fast. |
I agree about your point. You shouldn't be jumped on for asking a question like that. If the answer is that easy, then answer it and move on.

(j) Holiday Work
When it is necessary to provide air service on holidays, the following
procedure shall be used:
(1) The Employer shall offer this work in seniority order to full-time air
drivers who have worked at least one (1) day that week before offering it to
part-time air drivers.
(2) When the scheduling needs cannot be met using the above provision, the
Employer shall have the right to force part-time air drivers and then full-time
air drivers to work starting in reverse order of seniority. If after
exhausting the above steps scheduling needs are still not met, the Employer
shall offer the work in seniority order within the package driver
classification. If more drivers are still needed the reverse seniority order
concept will be used for package drivers. Package car drivers who work on a
holiday may make a written request for an eight (8) hour guarantee. Such
written request shall be made the last work day prior to the holiday. All time
worked by these drivers on a holiday will be paid at the Supplemental holiday rate.
(3) The scheduling of the support work will be reviewed with the Local Union
prior to the holiday. If the Local Union believes that the Employer has
scheduled an excessive number of support employees, it shall have the right
to appeal directly to the National Air Committee. The National Air
Committee will review the schedule and determine whether the Employer
has scheduled an excessive number of support employees. If it is determined
by the National Air Committee that the Employer worked excessive support
employees, the excessive employees worked shall be paid double-time for
hours worked in addition to their holiday pay.
(4) Air drivers and support employees scheduled on a holiday to ensure air
service to the customer, including time performing incidental work, shall
receive straight-time for all hours worked up to eight (8) hours in addition to
the holiday pay. Overtime provisions shall apply if the employee works over
eight (8) hours.
4th of July
