[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 3239665, member: 12570"] I asked my on car yesterday how they (mgt) are planning on handling the staffing for the 26th. He conceded that they haven't gotten to that point yet and, in fact, have only planned through this Saturday. Past practice has been that they ask for volunteers and then force from the bottom up. It is one of the worst days to work and as much as I hate taking "dead days" I gladly take one on that day. My son is coming home for an extended vacation (12/20-1/2) and his girlfriends' parents have invited all of us to their home for dinner on Christmas Day. My plan is to stay in the area that night and then spend the 26th with my kids and grand kids. We are working the next 3 Saturdays. I was under the impression that we were doing this to take the edge off of Monday but it turns out that we will be delivering work that was supposed to be delivered on the following Tuesday. 4-5 hours per driver is their target goal. I plan on treating myself to a sit down lunch before heading back in. [/QUOTE]
