I think it really shows how incompetent our big wigs are. I don't recall the debacle happening the day after thanksgiving last year. I think it was the day before Xmas. But what do I know, I'm just a dumb*** driver.
Time for Martin Luther King Holiday, next Contract?

Hey, we're only getting time and a half in my neck of the woods and they're forcing PT'ers on a sixth punch at straight time. Don't rub it in.

I don't. I see a bunch of slackjawed PT'ers coming in, being told they can go home, and them turning around and bolting for the door so they can make it mandatory again every year.
That's why I said,It is going to be a long day!

Yowza!
Most days I don't but if I show up and have things at home I could be doing and they ask me if I want a day I will.
That being said if I'm making $50 + and hr plus holiday pay I'm working.

I was just telling someone that exact same thing the other day.
We've got PT'ers in my area that had their vacations docked for missing more than 60 reports in a year. These are folks that will probably only have 15 years of accrued PT pension credit (you only need 12.5 hrs/week to get your 750/year..) when they go to retire at 25 and out..
If everyone reports and demands their guarantee (whether its 3 hours, 4 hours, or the FT 8 hours) then UPS will be leery of doing this the same way next year if they're paying PT'ers $30/hr to fill out paperwork and paying a driver $68/hr to sweep out trucks.
All that being said, the company should have "asked from the top, forced from the bottom" for staffing on Black Friday. I don't have kids and my fiance will be outta town anyway, so I would've worked. But my situation is different than those of a lot of other folks.

...which is why you take the time this week to see who will be open and closed and make sure they pull the closed stops off the car...
