[QUOTE="quadro, post: 672008, member: 12850"] I know that!!! That's what I've been telling you! What I don't think you understand is that it is 60 hours in a rolling 7 days, not a fixed 7 days. And so what if they can. Lots of businesses do. If FedEx can find a business model that works for those days and generate revenue, just like any other business, more power to them. That just means there are more hours to go around and possibly more jobs available. That is actually a good thing. And if FedEx decided to begin Sunday deliveries again, then why wouldn't they schedule people so they are on straight time just like they did before? Those employees might have Mon and Tue off and work 5 days. Some people like having days off during the week. There is nothing inherently wrong with working Sunday. Some people have a religious concern about that and good for them. I respect their beliefs. Some people don't have a concern and are fine with working Sunday. To each his own. Mother's Day isn't a FedEx recognized holiday because...drum roll please...it's not a holiday. At least in the sense that Christmas is. It's really just a commercialization of an idea and a way for Hallmark to make lots of money. But I digress. Nothing is stopping FedEx from operating on those days. I don't need to be told what day to honor my mother. I do it each and every day and love her dearly. That doesn't make me a bad son if I work on Mother's Day. No I wouldn't give him my soul and he's not asking. I stand-up for what I believe in and I believe that asking people to volunteer to work (and if necessary force a couple of newbies) on Valentine's Day is no big deal. There are literally millions of people who would love to have the opportunity to work, let alone on Valentine's Day and of all the problems to get bent about, this really isn't one of them. [/QUOTE]
