Wow....I'm surprised.....I figured ups would never give that up once they had it mandatory......is that just ne or did everyone go back to optional?
Not a concession in my mind, if they're gonna make us work that day anyway I would prefer to have another optional to use at my discretion. Having said that I don't see any change to the language regarding that issue in the Atlantic TA
just chillin'
Rest in peace wooba
lots of different local language for this day. im surprised it wasn't addressed in the master. im in a local that makes double time for working holidays and cant be forced. here we treat it like a partial day almost. half loads, lots of drivers in way before 8 hours and some people like clerks and such, told to stay home and not get the double time pay. customer counter even closes 3 hours early. no clue as to a 8 hour gurantee, im assuming not because its technically voluntary? we have not settled our supplement yet but i have not heard a peep as to any negotiations regarding this. i see from others posting that they had it removed as a holiday and received and extra oph in return. i wonder how locally widespread that deal is.

It depends on your area.......different rules in different cities
Seasonals do not get any premium pay.

just a FYI. in our local we had the same situation for over 20 years with election day. it was a working holiday and was our yearly triple time day. almost everybody always worked and we all made bank. but it was technically optional. one year a whole center of drivers revolted against there center manager and elected not to work. well after that debacle, last contract they negotiated it out. we received an extra special additional oph that can be used as such. or, that we can choose to work through for whats called a floating triple time day. so anything less than that for the day after thanksgiving is going to be a concession in my local

I'm in San Jose, ca and my driver was paid holiday for the day after Thanksgiving, so I was assuming helpers should as well? Just can't get a true and straight answer not even from management.

You're welcome
The only helpers that get any holiday pay is the regular part time employees who go out as helpers.

Don’t they have to work 1 year before they get holiday pay?
They don't get paid holidays until they get a year in but of they work a holiday, they get holiday pay. It could be different in other areas.

Yes it is, if you are a permanent hire with a seniority date you receive 1.5x.
it is a holiday for regular employees.

Ok now that answered everything I needed as far as that. Could you please help me out with one more answer if you can? As a seasonal driver helper do I get any perks other than ot after 8 or 40 hours
