They should plan on working, especially if there is a major snowstorm during Peak.

Sure. I'll go in for the 2.5 hours I have left. Thank you Department of Transportation.

 

[DOK]

You won't have any days left to use!

Piggy back question is if you have vacation the week between Christmas and New Years does your vacation start Saturday December 24th meaning you wouldn't have to work?

If forced to come in for 2.5 hours you have left, you get the 8 hour guarantee, I would think?
Possibly they have you drive 2.5 and then driver helper after that?

25?

Thirty five goof ball

She said she's be 75 in 2056

2056 - 75 =1981

2016-1981= 35

Vacations are week ending so, no, you would have to work 12/24 if you are on vacation starting 12/25.

That week is normally blocked out so it is normally not an option.

I am on vacation this week. We are working Black Friday and Saturday. I asked all 3 supervisors before leaving on Friday if I had to come in on Saturday. All 3 told me to enjoy my weekend and that they would see me early Monday morning (8 am start).

Generally if you 4 or fewer hours left you will not be asked to come in.

No helpers on Saturdays unless we are using that day to "catch up" due to weather.

You are correct. But I would gladly work Code 5 if allowed, as it is Christmas Eve. If forced, I will gladly help another Teamster to get home earlier on Christmas Eve.

I've also been curious as to why the UPS calendar marks the 26th a regular business day. I told all my family I have it off as that is the day my extended family has our party. Christmas day is reserved for my immediate family.

We are not working on the 26th.

It seems to be correct online.

Christmas Day observed is Monday the 26th. So my question is why don't we get this day off like we used to? Can anyone tell me what contract this changed in?

Hoffa, Atlanta Corporate? Doesn't matter, both will be on vacation December 23 -through New Years.

Agree. I don't have kids so I always call my buddies on holidays to see if they need help to get them home sooner.

Since we pass out millions of calendars to our customers, you think they'd not show the 26th as a regular service day.

Eh, minor typo

Where?

Your unused days will have already been paid off.

My option days get paid off after the end of the year and my sick days allotment is good until the end of April.

 

[DOK]

Where?

On the calendar

Ah, thought you were referring to my post.

Just seems odd that they forgot the most important reserved day of the year.
