Holidays

[qtin2ledo]

What holidays do package handlers have off? I know there are Saturday sorts sometimes but which ones are regularly given off? The 4th of July, for example is a Thursday.

So with this wording, why are we forced to work the day after Thanksgiving? Union steward told me yes we work, we get double time plus holiday pay and I could always just call in. Why would I need to call it when it clearly states we shall not be required to work.

This is why.

To throw a wrench into the above info, if anyone is a gateway airport hub employee, if a holiday falls on an otherwise regular work day, you’re paid that day at regular time. We have very few volunteers as a result of that

It was already "provided" in this agreement that you shall not be required to work the listed holidays. Why are there 2 sections that contradict each other?

It's a loop hole that the company used. I believe it was put in the contract for air drivers. This I may be wrong about but Section 4 in the central is why you can be required to work holidays, except labor day.

God forbid...

No that's the Central

Damn it I was hoping that was the new western language and I just overlooked it.

Oh because you make only 1.5 a hour for working holidays?

 

[Rack em]

Same here. So I know what you mean.
