management TRIED to schedule work on christmas day a few years back....OF COURSE they were off......they even tried to schedule barganing unit employees in their place.
of the 12 people scheduled, only 2 suck-ups showed up.
i am proud to say i organized the "worker's revolt"...even planned the sick calls at 10 minute intervals.
when my supervisor accused me of my "trechery" a few weeks later; i proudly admitted to doing so and promised further action if they every pulled that harrassment again.
ah yes.........the benefits of being carreer civil service!
