I'm more worried about the 5th than the 3rd staffing wise. Guys having a little too much fun night of the 4th.

thats a fed holiday

So is Veterans Day. MLK Day and Presidents day and the majority of UPS'ers don't get them off

 

[Brownslave688]

I heard the 4th of July holiday will be taken away totally on the next contract.

No that's Black Friday. They should add the 5th in its place.

The give our black driver MLK off every year. Can't say the same for the veterans.

 

[Brownslave688]

Wouldn't that have to be negotiated?

Nope. Don't you read anything on here?

Ups and the IBT just tell us to bend over and take it now.


We are only guaranteed 1 holiday off.

Do you also plan your restroom breaks? Not being a smart ass-----this is a serious question.

How do you know when you'll be hungry? I eat at different times all day.

My body knows when there is a public restroom nearby and I always have lunch between noon and 1.

Just wait til you hit your mid 50's.

Working Monday?

 

[Knothead]

I'm being "forced" to work Tuesday the 4th at 2am. Double-time plus holiday pay. I don't mind a bit.

I am covering the feeder route that goes to the mall. I am the only cover guy not on vacation, so I am the only one that can cover it.
I also eat at different times, but I generally eat at the same places. Plus, pulling a 45 foot trailer kind of limits my choices.
