   No draft for us here at the NJI & NDC. Only volunteers.
   We made sure of that.

   Half the clerks in my facility have been drafted for Christmas Day, plus 7 PSEs scheduled. Extra transportation to A/Os is scheduled as well for the first time in the 20+ years I can remember. Might as well ruin the holiday for contractors/drivers too. Very little inbound mail is scheduled, so not sure what all these people will be doing.

   Not only do we have to work Christmas Day on Tour 2 and 3, we had to work Thanksgiving Day on all three tours. I’m sure New Years Day will be the same. I’m in 28 years and NEVER have we had to work those days. But the days before the holidays clerks were not forced to work if that was their designated holiday. Make sense? Don’t you want the mail delivered BEFORE Christmas? It’s management’s way to make the members mad at the Union and bust the Union up in my opinion. All members must remember, it wasn’t the Union’s idea to force you to work the holiday, blame the person who made you work, MANAGEMENT!!!!!
