[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4283326, member: 77939"] This is like the Friday after Thanksgiving. The Company says you will be paid holiday pay but it's now another REGULAR work day from now on. Yet, we have folks saying By God it's a holiday and ain't coming in...Yet, ask a union steward directly for a direct answer and it will be anything but. So, I've always been told by those same stewards-work as directed and then file. What I think should happen: Have the Union clear all this up-you don't have to work, its a holiday. But, they haven't because you can be FORCED to work as DIRECTED. As I've always understood it. At some point, you are going to run out of option days, sick call whatever. In my 4 decades, fastest way to get fired is no call no show. And to the OP-you don't know how many family events I missed working at UPS during peak or otherwise. Just the way it is. But really....a soccer tournament during peak? It would be like me declaring "I'm going skiing during the week of Christmas"....laughable. Now..New Years?-you bet. [/QUOTE]
