Day after Thanksgiving driving

[BigUnionGuy]

Is the Friday after Thanksgiving a Holiday in your local or do you not get paid for it if you don't work?
Do you get paid straight time if you work?

In the Central Region, it is a paid Holiday.

Package Car or Feeder drivers.... that work on a paid Holiday.... receive double time for all hours worked.

Plus.... Holiday pay.


Air drivers or hub employees scheduled as "air support".... are only paid straight time.

Unless....

The company doesn't follow the established procedure.

I always thought that was BS...I never understood why package got paid in OT all day but PT is at straight. Oh well...still technically making double time.

 

[cb1969]

you will work, trust in that...you will get paid straight time and it Is wrong but happens everywhere.....

Our center manager announced the sign-up sheet during the PCM. I asked if it were straight time or time and a half. He said time and a half as that is what they paid when he was in Vermont. We have always been paid straight time so this should be interesting. I am on vacation so will not be working but if it is indeed time and a half I think you may see a lot more of the FT drivers signing up to work.

Always been three here, since it's air operations and work.

There are no guarantees on Black Friday.

There are no guarantees on Black Friday.

I'm guaranteed eight.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I'm guaranteed eight.

You requested your eight.

 

[cosmo1]

You requested your eight.

Hence, he is guaranteed his eight.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Last year our clerk worked it and the company paid him straight time.

He filed a grievance and it was found that management failed to discuss the number of support personnel with the local union. When it went to the hearing the BA said to just let it go and the clerk got screwed out of his double time pay.

How would you argue that a clerk isn't support personnel?

Or the car wash.

Not necessarily.

If a driver requests eight hours the day after Thanksgiving, he/she will be sent out with at least​ eight hours of work. Guaran-freaking-teed!

And possibly 10 or 12 hours work. There are pick ups and also the shuttle run to the airport.

Not necessarily.

In the central region you are guaranteed eight if you ask for it.

 

[bleedinbrown58]

In the central region you are guaranteed eight if you ask for it.

In my local, we get double time plus holiday pay. And drivers get their eight hours if they request it. What I can't remember is if PTers get their 3.5....

I'm not sure what you mean. The company failed to discuss the amount of support personnel with the local therefore procedure was not followed. He got paid double time in all prior years. The company failed to follow protocol.
