Now driving a Sterling
I worked one Christmas day, many years ago. I was asked, and since I had nothing planned until late in the day, I said yes. As I remember, I delivered 9 packages, drove almost 150 miles, was stopped by a SC trooper(he thought I had stolen the truck) and at one stop, the look on the 3 kids faces was priceless.
And down here, it's 2.5 times the hourly rate.

Well not so hypothetical...All 300+ drivers in our building (in the Central Region) are "tentatively" scheduled to work Christmas day. Yes, I started this thread in the Union issues section because I wanted to know if the Union contract had any protection against this happening.

Since the day after Thanksgiving is listed as one of those "above named holidays" and drivers are frequently forced to work that holiday, it looks like Scrooge/UPS management could force us. I just want to know how much notice they have to give us. Notice that section 4 has a special exclusion for Labor day...the union has to agree to the forcing of drivers on that day. What a joke, Labor day is protected but not Christmas!
There is no way in HELL I would ever work on Christmas day, PERIOD. Have the whole building call out sick......they can't fire every driver from one hub.

So no worries.As long as you've called in less than 6 times in 6 moths, they can't even give you a warning letter. Family first.
Oh, I'd probably get a warning letter, then. lol I would just pitch it like the others

Sure they can
Sure they can.They can give you a warning letter for anything they want. Making it stick is a whole other thing.

I believe this answers your question, straight from the horses moth or at least the threads OP, 25plus.
The thread was not moved ... but maybe someone moved the cheese.

I assume that was a long time ago.
Today, a district manager can't spend over $500 without higher approval.
This decision was an $800 decision.
Ah, my apologies. How 'bout the other thread I mentioned?

Seeing as how i have several family memebers flying in for christmass i would need 3x for me, 1500 to cover their tickets, and at least 5000 more to pay for a weekend to vegas or something to make up for it later. Id say 10,000 would get me to come in on christmass day, wait make that 11,000 so i can give a 1000 to charity to make it up to the j-man for working his birthday
