I hope so for the other shifts that have to work, but I know my HUB shift will only be getting straight time..Not this year. It will be double time plus holiday in the central.

Adapt to what?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.
UPS has been working on growing people in house.
The only exception in the Central Region, as it's always been, are those who can be characterized as air support.I hope so for the other shifts that have to work, but I know my HUB shift will only be getting straight time..
I predicted this years ago when we wouldn't fight for our Christmas turkeys.
I'm making a grand that day. I've got time to go and I'm planing for my retirement very well. Game on. Let's make some money.And how.... is that a violation of the contract ??
Your posts, come across as bitter resentment.
Lack of retirement planning ??

If I go to work that day,very slow. Molasses slow,on a cold day. Then I will come home ,drink,and grill it baby!I'm making a grand that day. I've got time to go and I'm planing for my retirement very well. Game on. Let's make some money.
You can grill Anything you want and drink Anything you want after that payday.If I go to work that day,very slow. Molasses slow,on a cold day. Then I will come home ,drink,and grill it baby!
As long as there's UPS management there'll be unionized hourlies.I predicted this years ago when we wouldn't fight for our Christmas turkeys. then the safe driving gift catalog went. now a holiday.
harassment has stepped up over the last couple years and hardly a wimper from hourlies. 9.5 requests are ignored. and on and on.
don't you see what is happening? it's like the proverbial frog in the pot on the stove. he waits too long before being boiled to death.
I have to hand it to the company though. I would do the same thing. push until im pushed back and we all know that is not going to happen.
we'll come back to this thread years from now when the union is gone.

For me there is a little section that says if my Regular work day starts or stops on a holiday then it is straight time. SO, UPS starts us at 1159 PM. but my entire shift is worked on a holiday!!!The only exception in the Central Region, as it's always been, are those who can be characterized as air support.
I would however make the argument that there are no air support employees since they are running a full operation instead of the one provided for in Article 40 for air operations on named holidays.
