[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 431212, member: 12570"] Actually, I have. I had taken vacation the first week of January a few years ago (2006 I believe) and did so knowing that I would get paid for both New Years Eve and Day in that check. Well, UPS paid me with 2 separate checks, one for the 45 hours for my vacation and the other for the 2 holidays, and then proceeded to take all of the weekly deductions out of both checks. Long story short I received a whopping $0.00 for my holiday pay as my deductions (2 401k loans, 401k deduction and $25 United Way) exceeded my holiday pay. I grieved it as it was my contention that the holidays should have been added to my vacation and, if they had been, my check would have been roughly $400 higher as they would have only taken out the weekly deductions once. The grievance was denied because they said that the deductions were for my benefit and the money used to pay my loans and 401k were not recoverable. I have since made sure that any vacations that I take that have a holiday included be paid with the holiday included and have not had a problem since. As far as the Union meetings go, ours are an excuse for our guys to get together and drink and little or nothing actually gets accomplished. I have much better things to do. I really don't care if you read my posts. I will tell you honestly that I enjoy reading most of your posts as they show that you do care about your co-workers and that you work tirelessly to defend the contract on their behalf. Moderation in all things can be beneficial. Red, I do applaud your spirit in defending the rights of those under your stewardship but you need to know that there are employees here who actually have the ability to take care of their own business. I have always been able to discuss issues with my mgt team. I have had customer concerns for which I have been disciplined but I have always been treated with respect as this is the way that I treat my mgt team. Red, I am just busting your chops on the vending machine issue. I do think that a grievance is a bit much and this issue could have been handled with a simple petition signed by the hourlies presented to mgt. A grievance over something this trivial is simply a waste of your time, your mgt team's time and your BA's time. If you think the prices are too high, don't use the machine. It's really that simple. BTW, I have no doubts about my whether I am a man or not. Do you? [/QUOTE]
