I had heard some seniority guys talking last year about how we lost Black Friday and were pi$$ed because in years past, we gave up some other holiday during negotiations in order to have the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend, with Friday being a paid holiday. Which holiday was it, if this is true?
And will we fight to get it back if BF is a straight work day with this new contract?
When I was hired, we all had our birthday off as a paid holiday. Several contracts later, that was traded for the day after Thanksgiving.
