Reply to comment by follysurfer in They’re sacrificing holiday time with their families ⏳ so we can enjoy it with ours in comfort 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Thank you for all you do 🙏 #401wx 👷👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ by WeatherInRI

So I guess the contract from 2021 that goes for 4 years is no longer the contract? He gets double time for Christmas plus the flat rate holiday pay and Christmas eve is a holiday as well. The UWUA took Christmas eve as a holiday while the steelworkers took the day after Thanksgiving. If he is not getting this he needs to get in touch with Phil. Any Sunday worked is 1.5 times and overtime on any Sunday is double time. If his rate is only 30 per hour he is not at the top of the rate or not a lineman

Honestly don’t know. When you responded, I call him. He just said that it’s 1.5 today and sat and double on Xmas. He may be bullshitting me. But he’s usually straight up. Or maybe he just doesn’t pay that close attention. I do know he’s on duty because my sister is annoyed. Lol.

He is right but it is what he is getting paid for time "worked" he also gets the holiday pay of (8 hours straight time) that everyone else that is off today gets. I worked every Christmas and Thanksgiving for 20 years. I never got to wake up with my daughters on Christmas morning for 20 years, no matter how much you make missing those holidays with family is not worth it.
