My timecard already says that I'm getting paid today for a "Legal Holiday", however, we are expected to come in today.

Whatever you work today will be added on top of the holiday. Pay no mind to what it says now. The holiday gets posted automatically.
Enjoy the extra money
They will be listed on top of your paid holiday

I always hated this day as an air driver.
Forced to work at regular pay.
Plus they always switched up the routine.
Early drop box collections, dumped everything in a 24 footer and had to drive it to another building.
Where the people were less organized about what was required.
The building was locked up and one had to park the vehicle and walk around , looking for an open door.
And then find who was in charge.

Sounds like a great way to get some EASY money--(if you are forced to work. I would have walked around the building twice before finding an open door and then went out of my way to NOT run into who was in charge.

We are too, but some supplements have time and half only.

You would also get paid for the day plus 1.5/2x if you were forced to work any other holiday. Memorial Day, Christmas, etc. That's a big if though.

You more than likely were still guaranteed your minimum hours even though it was a holiday. Check your contract or get with a knowledgeable steward.

Here in New England Columbus Day, Veterans Day and Black Friday are all treated the same. It’s a regular work day in the sense that everyone is expected to report and is guaranteed eight hours. Full timers get 8 hours holiday pay and are paid at time a a half for all hours worked up to ten hours. If we go over 10 we are paid at two and a quarter time for all hours worked over 10. The .33 hour time bonus for going over 10 is also paid at two and a quarter time.

Black Friday used to be a special operation day. I worked it two years as an air driver. Then, when I went ground, it became a working holiday. I will vote no on any contract that does not get us our holidays off, guaranteed, no more working holiday bull

When did the Friday after thanksgiving become a day to risk your life to save $5 on last year's close out items?

You may as well vote now because that is about 100th on our list of demands and will not be changed or even looked at for more than a minute so it doesn't matter what else is negotiated if that is a deal breaker for you. The company obviously needs us to work today as they are essentially paying triple time to hundreds of people per building and if they could they would obviously prefer to avoid it. I would say it's more possible that he union trades double time on this day for something else and it becomes a regular working day. My wife worked today and did not receive any extra money as is the same for most people working today.Black Friday used to be a special operation day. I worked it two years as an air driver.

Most high seniority air drivers take this week as vacation. Get paid double time for Thursday and Friday and the week off.
