Memorial Day, Holiday Off and our Current Bargaining Agreement

There have been numerous inquiries on this topic so I thought it would be good to post it again..

The current process for Holidays are as follows:

ARTICLE 22 – HOLIDAYS

A. Employees will observe the following holidays each year: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. The actual day on which the holiday falls will be observed as the holiday.

1. If a holiday falls on an employee’s day off, that employee will be paid in accordance with paragraph C below.

2. The Company shall give at least seven (7) days’ notice of any reduction in the required complement on any of the foregoing holidays.

……….Item C…..

C. Employees not scheduled to work, or scheduled to work, but not required to work on the above-mentioned holidays, will be compensated for the day equal to the number of regularly scheduled hours at their regular straight time rate, or may at their option, receive one (1) compensatory day at their regular straight time rate deposited into their compensatory bank.

President Dale Danker posted a video on this back on April 17th, 2020 and covered what he understood at that time:
