[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1392289, member: 8481"] You did not read far enough into Article 15 [B]Section 4 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, regular seniority employees required to work on any of the above named holidays shall receive double his/her regular hourly rate for all hours worked with a guarantee of eight (8) hours for full-time employees and four (4) hours for part-time employees. Also, no employee shall be required to work on Labor Day unless authorized by the local union.[/B] UPS and Hoffa agreed that this clause means that UPS can work that day, force all employees to work and they just have to pay them doubletime. I know it contradicts Section 1, but what can we do besides not come in. If it is a Holiday that the contract says we do not have to work, how can they charge us for an attendance occurrence if we do not come in? We need to have all the ambiguity clarified in the contract. This has been going on far too long where the contract is "interpreted" because the language is vague. [/QUOTE]
