I might have an extra set of knee pads if you want them.
Our local list that day as a holiday so we cannot be forced. Management knows not to even attempt asking me to work as I aim to work as little as possible.

Dare I say this to you - read your contract, more specifically, your supplement.
If yours is the same as everyone else's, you'll see that the vacation period starts the Saturday after Christmas and runs through Thanksgiving. If it does in fact say that, then you don't have to worry about the company doing away with Thanksgiving week vacations until sometime in 2018.
Isn't being a teamster great!?

Do other supplements not list Black friday as a holiday...is that how we got lucky?

That wouldn't happen here, if you work on your vacation you are the last person to choose a route. Why wouldn't you just work that Friday and give someone else the chance to have time off?

If you have been prepaid for vacation, then your route should go up on the bid sheet for the week. Whoever won the bid on your route has the right to run that route for the week regardless of whatever "deal" you and your center manager made.
About 4 years ago when I was swing driving, another driver tried to pull this same crap. I filed, and won, for any OT that the driver made that week which rightfully should have been mine.
Needless to say that these "deals" came to a screeching halt.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
There is no language. We have been over this time
And time again. Ups can make virtually any day a normal
Work day. The contract only says how we get paid for those days.
