You too Nick.
The boss......and MOST of the guys I work with like to treat Friday like a regular work day even though it's an official union holiday. In the past I've been happy to work that day for straight time if everyone else was cool with the idea.
It was floated around this year and I shot it down. I don't see how it's any great holiday for us......UNPAID days off in the middle of the week during the busy season. I just said that I'd rather take the day off. My kid comes home from college. I'm all fat and full of turkey farts.
The DEAL we've always used was to work our regular 8 and charge 4 at double time so as far as the union and accounting were concerned everything looked legit.
If I NEEDED that days pay I'd surely do the same deal. So I wouldn't object to anyone else doing that so long as the boss doesn't try to cram it down our throats. In other words don't try to tell me know I HAVE to work those days for straight time. Yeah. I do appreciate how ironic/confusing that is.
Always pisses me off that we don't get any kind of holiday pay being union.
What's the point?

Company Union In ?
Not sure what you mean by that. My union is Local 1247 IBPAT. (painters)
Yeah though, it would be NICE if my company threw some of us a couple of days off with pay. We do get a Christmas bonus which is nice.

In Joisey they have the locals like you do ,, and also some companys have their on union which are useless . They just collect dues .
I also want to wish everyone here a Happy Thanksgiving. It may be one of the smaller forums I frequent, but tops the others for your knowledge and my new-found friends!

I wish everyone a great Thanksgiving. I appreciate you putting up with me another year and I hope you come here because you like the forum. I certainly enjoy all the friends I have made here. Spend the day with loved ones and eat too much, I know I will.
Putting up with you? That must be a typo. You are the reason we come here.
Thanks for all that you do here to keep us geezers civil with one another. Keep an eye on that Nick fella tho.............. he makes me nervous.
Thanks to all of you on the Mod Squad. This is a great place to learn, share and rant.
Being non traditional, I'm thinking me and my brother will stay home and fix either chili or clam chowder.............. and maybe a beer or two.
.........or six.
I can't wait for the Macy parade to see the CFI float. I heard there was gonna be 6 guys bumpin' knee kickers throughout the entire route.
We don't have Thanksgiving down this way yet but we seem to be collecting things like Valentine's Day and other American ways. Tipping is starting to come in here. We pay our waitress's fairly well so that they don't need tips to live
Anyway you guys have a good Thanksgiving day while us poor Kiwis work

As usual I will be in misery most of the night from eating so much then picking at the left overs the rest of the night.
High, in my best Dick Martin voice, "CFI has a float? I didn't know that!"
Of coarse I don't hear much from them anymore.

I will be at my stepson's place most of the day. The grandkids will probably be hogging the TV watching cartoons.
Back at you all with a healthy and enjoyable Thanksgiving day. I'm making apple and pumpkin pies this morning. Can't wait to dive in. Mmmm

Hey, where is Big Bird?

Apple/pumpkin pie, or one of each?
Actually, it sounds like an interesting combo if you pulverize the apples.
I might have dreampt that up. ...............I guess you'll have to watch the entire parade to find out.
............. oops, gotta go, here come the Planters peanut-mobile.

One of each. A blend????? Might have something there High. Some kind of Okie pie.
Though I am Okie and never seen one yet.
