flint Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 ok...we're being told we are working Good Friday, so we can have Sunday off as our holiday-fine. BUT, labor tells us that in order to recieve holiday pay for "Friday" we must work the day before and after. Well, if "Friday" is our holiday, then why are we not getting our triple to work it?? NOW-if Sunday is our holiday, then why are we being told we have to work the day before and after Friday. Its either one way or the other-u cant hold us to 2 diff. standards. So--whats the rest of C-Crew's take on this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So--whats the rest of C-Crew's take on this?? Kansas City is off Good Friday, and working Easter Sunday. Same start time as usual. We were supposed to work Good Friday, and have Easter off, but there was an uproar about working on a holiday. The company is supplementing the people who say that they are not coming to work on Easter with B-Crew employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtp.cares Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 C crew at Woodhaven stamping is working Good Friday, with Sunday off. Just so all you smart people know Easter sunday is not a ford-UAW contractual holiday so traditionally the UAW has traded Easter sunday for Good friday so you dont have to work on easter and spend time with your family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had Friday off as a paid holiday, then they would have to work on Easter Sunday. They switched the days around so nobody would have to work on Easter Sunday.

flint Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 I agree, but it also allows DTP to do shift bumps without having to pay short workweek for those going to days from C-crew. I thought I made it plain. Its nothing to do with wanting to awol-its the company wanting to hold us to two diff. "holidays" -- Good Friday and Easter Sunday. If u dont wanna pay triple time on Friday for working us on a holiday, then make it correct-u must work saturday before Easter Sunday in order to get holiday pay. If u want to label Friday as holiday, then u cant bring people in and not pay according to contracts. I bet if DTP brings people from A or B crew in on Friday-they'll get the double time-right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtp323 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 No, it will be triple time! You have to throw in their holiday pay too. Call me a crybaby you A & B crew stiffs, but I sure will be mad as hell when I am getting straight time on Good Friday & working right next to you making triple time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
