Forcing Thanksgiving Holiday Work Is The Beginning Of The End

[DriveInDriveOut]

The central is all double time. Volunteers or not.

Same with the Southern.

Why?

You want more work you can't handle that's what will happen. I'll take an extra week of vacation. They will find a way to get your wage increase back.All we do is break even in this constant game of give and take. I'm all for them saving money so profits remain high. I have ideas for them but they won't listen.

Feeders & package car only though, hub employees & air drivers do not get double time. I'm almost positive.

First Union dues are based off hourly wages so they will fight for raises.

Vacation is costing them more than a raise. For vacation they are paying you to sit and home and do nothing nothing. Plus paying someone to cover your route. How much vacation does one need? We get 7-8 weeks now depending on where u are.

Finally those of us with 25 or more years or those that waited 15 years to go full time need raises.

Gotcha. Air drivers I know your right. That's part of the deal with taking that job.

Preload twilight hub I would think are double time. In my center they never worked before. Drivers unload and load everything in the past.

Central article 15 section 4. Looks like double time for everyone, although I wouldn't be surprised if air gets screwed as usual.

Article 40 bends over air drivers. Anyone that's been an air driver knows this.

It didn't use to be, so we will see. They worked people on the AIR article or something. Keep in mind I am talking Part time people Not drivers....

Just have to wait till it all plays out and see.
I know for a Fact as a part timer working the HUB at 1159 PM start time, I will only be getting straight time for working on an actual Holiday....

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't we going to be well compensated for it?

there's more to life than money. thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for family time. parents are flying in from east coast, children are coming in from Oregon, Idaho and parts of Cali.

"sorry everyone. I have to sleep and work. sleep and work. maybe next year"

it's goddam ridiculous. every road supe should be forced to take a feeder run so the people who work 60 hours a week can have a 4 day weekend before the onslaught.

money aint everything.

The Friday after Thanksgiving was never a legal Holiday. Christmas however is.

No but it was ours, because of the onslaught coming. I understand people not liking it, its the one long weekend we got to enjoy, since Christmas is not very enjoyable, when you usually have to go back the day after. But I dont care, coz I dont have many more.

 

[toonertoo]

Not everyone is going to be working that Friday. Just the bottom drivers and preloaders.

We were told 60 runs, that more than usual. We will all be working.

In the Central region, PTers earn straight time for hours worked.

Not this year. It will be double time plus holiday in the central.

You have to remember that Thanksgiving is an American holiday. Now this country is much more multi-cultural. Thanksgiving to them is just another Thursday. That Friday is no different.

And with retails stores ruining Thanksgiving for the rest of us, we as a company have to adapt to the changes. I don't like it but what choice do we have?

I remember when on Thanksgiving and New Years Day all that was open was a gas station and a Chinese restaurant.

They (ups) gave up the Art 40 day and "support personnel" language.

They may try it. Good luck with that.

Black Friday is no longer Art 40.

It's all about saving face this year IMO. Ask your BD reps. It quacks like a duck.

Maybe quacks like a drone.
