[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 781257, member: 18044"] Maybe not. We do get 16 hours straight time pay for the two holidays. We do get time-and-one-half for all hours worked on those days. And almost everyone is required to work. But our Top Rate for Package Car Drivers is currently $29.965. I think most other areas make a few cents more per hour all year long. In effect, we "bought" those holidays by accepting a lesser hourly rate. Year's ago we also gave up Washington's Birthday (now President's Day) to have a different holiday off. (Either the Day After Thanksgiving or December 31st, can't remember which.) It's amazing how many improvements in the Contract are [U]bought[/U] by us, rather than [U]won[/U] from the Company. And then there are the improvements that are bought by one group in the bargaining unit by shortchanging another less powerful or less aware group. Or bought for the current members by selling out the "unborn." [/QUOTE]
