Yes getting in early Christmas Eve...A nice spread..The good old days..When the company showed some kind of compassion towards it's workers..........
Neither FedEx or UPS delivered to my house after Friday 12/20.
I have things in my cart at Amazon for a week now.
I held off to keep from adding to the problems.
If you were getting packages yesterday, you were part of the problem!
I got one yesterday but it's been stuck in the Dallas backlog for several days so I don't think that one really counts.
And I had it shipped to the office so I wasn't adding a stop.Anonymous 10

I would have delivered on Sunday to alleviate this problem. I predict a lot of call off's next Christmas Eve. People won't take the chance if they think there'd be a repeat.

One thing that was common during Xmas eve was they would pay your lunch (hours worked). I got my route done and they made me go help another driver. I asked if my lunch was paid and where to meet driver.
THEY TOLD ME THAT UPS WOULD ONLY PAY HALF MY LUNCH
ABSOLUTE BS
THE OMS AND MY SUP GOT AN EARFUL FROM ME
TOOK MY HALF HOUR AT DUNKIN DONUTS AND THEN WENT TO HELP MY FELLOW DRIVER
UPS WAS STRUNG OUT XMAS EVE AND THEY COULD CARE LESS AND KEEP MY 16 DOLLARS

Contractually it's not a holiday, might be in some locations but not the majority, it's just a day most aren't expected to work. There are other "federal" holidays out there that businesses close for but we don't.
I average that year-round...The union could only put language in the next contract eliminating peak time exceptions to the 9.5 language...We all know that will never happen!!

It's not just undeliverable packages--scheduled pickups too. And does it make sense that Christmas Eve wouldn't be considered a holiday but New Years Eve day is?

Not in the least.

You are right, New Years Eve should not be a holiday.

The real problem is that they see numbers on paper without considering the human frailties and limitations.
OR, New Years Eve should be the holiday as that's when people celebrate.
Perhaps New Years Day should not...
But, I'll gladly take both.

On that note, my supplement has Columbus Day as a working holiday. No offense to you southern rednecks and Italians but MLK Day has a lot more closed than Columbus Day.

Uh yah.
Like you can even pretend to lay off the hooch on NYE to just try and make the punch in on NYD.

I think MLK day should have been declared a national holiday that nobody works at least ten years ago.

I'd pick Veterans Day instead.
