[QUOTE="bigrig, post: 1451984, member: 10820"] Ok here we go. Day after thanks giving is a holiday. Contractually it was bargained as so, but since our this last contract was negotiated we must have lost the day after thanksgiving. I recalled supervisors say that we would no longer have that day off. As I said in the past we members we're keep in the dark about contract negotiations. We were told to vote for the first offer they threw at us. Now things that we're bargained are showing up. I have been a upser for over 30yrs and never heard and local tell us to vote yes on the first offer of contract. In my opinion I think it's time for a change in our union. I believe leadership is failing its members by not looking out for us. Now the real question is what other contract issues have been lost. If you can get your hands on a contract book which I gave not seen as of yet or a ups calendar for 2014-15 you will see that the day after thanksgiving is no longer highlighted meaning we will no longer gave that day off. It is a Sad day for union members. This year you probably won't be forced to work but next year there won't be a choice. [/QUOTE]
