Traditionally,the 8-hr. shifts observed Good Friday as a Hoilday because they were off on Sunday ...then in July 1992 we went to 12-hr. shifts and some members decided they perferd Easter off instead of Good Friday. This action would interfere with the Annual Good Friday Fishing Tournament which was a "huge tradtion" with many members. http://www.uswlocal1055.org/blog_detail.php?blog_id=34 2011-04-19 http://www.uswlocal1055.org/blog_detail.php?blog_id=34 Hello Sisters and Brothers, Hope everyone has made it with out damage from the storms.

We must try to figure out a way to simplify the issues we encounter......12 hour shifts are long and hard ...then here comes the dreaded statement from your supervisor "you are low on the list and I will have to mandantory you to stay over. For 35 years we only faced mandantory overtime on the eight hour shifts for Saturdays.....How do we deal with this change? http://www.uswlocal1055.org/blog_detail.php?blog_id=21 2010-02-24 http://www.uswlocal1055.org/blog_detail.php?blog_id=21 SOAR Meeting Notice http://www.uswlocal1055.org/blog_detail.php?blog_id=19 2010-02-01 http://www.uswlocal1055.org/blog_detail.php?blog_id=19 I added another link, under Government, that takes you to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commisssion site.
