[QUOTE="PAS'd out, post: 268694, member: 9755"] [I][I]are we required to work ...?[/I] [/I]Depends, they are both UPS holidays so you are only required to work if there are not enough volunteers to work. The remainder of positions needed are filled in reverse order of seniority. [I]…are we off or do we have the option to work for time and a half or something…[/I] I imagine that depends on your supplement. Article 40, section j of the Master Agreement is somewhat vague. Full time package drivers, forced or not, receive holiday pay based on what their supplement calls for. Up here we get paid 8 straight hours for the day and then time and a half for the hours that are worked that day. Now here is a great story from our building.
