[QUOTE="SandBagger, post: 1453076, member: 11242"] So far, every supplement I have seen lists "day after Thanksgiving" as a legal holiday. Doesn't yours? You don't need a proviso stating no employee has to work. In fact, you need a clear startement that they do in order to make reporting compulsory. You'll find such language in Article 40 (j)(2) as an example. Tactfully hidden in that air language is compulsory legal holiday report for basically any number of package drivers the employer so chooses. I say "tactfully" because Article 40 was supposedly meant to exclusively cover air operations only. So how did package drivers get pulled into the mix? Because they didn't know it (didn't read it) when they voted, and because the most senior drivers (the ones who typically cast a vote most often) may have known but didn't give a hoot because it likely never would impact them. If anyone can find language that makes reporting on a holiday compulsory, please post it here for the benefit of all. Simply referencing "if required to work on a holiday" in no way makes reporting compulsory. If the boss "insists", ask him to show you the actual language. Same goes for the stewards, business agents, etc. Pretty soon you'll start seeing volunteer lists going up around the country. You just need to stand your ground. Last time it was your Christmas turkey, and now your holidays are at risk. Go ahead and give one up and see how many you have left by 2018. Of course if all it takes to steal from you is to offer you a little fast cash, then none of this really matters, right. Just sayin'... [/QUOTE]
