 Awarding Vacations
I don't want to debate anything between union or non-union here in the thread. Union members vacations are governed by there respective contract. Non-Union members vacations are governed by the Company hand book or Company policy. Lets discuss why some Company's require you to put in for vacation in January for the whole year?
I have four weeks a year now of vacation. Why should I have to specify which days through out the given year when I want to take them? What if I change my mind of something changes in my life and I can't go on what ever I planned on that week. I should not be bound to it just because I had to give the notice ten months ago back in January. If you throw out all the stuff like "I called" that week first (like children do) and award time off by seniority (not ten months in advance) then it will all be fine. When I exercise my seniority it is NOT screwing a fellow employee. Seniority is the only difference between me and the next Joe at Roadway. I guess it will not be long before I hear I need to take the layoff instead on a junior guy because he has more kids that I do and needs to provide for his family before me. Please don't say that is a different issue, because it is NOT. Seniority is at the root of both of them.
The post of mine CAN be discussed with out any union/non-union issue being brought up. Please keep your post civil!  |
