Holiday Overtime Is Voluntary per LOU #11*
As the holidays approach, it is important for members to understand their rights regarding overtime on holidays and weekends connected to holidays. We have contract language, which limits Boeing's authority to assign mandatory overtime.
Letter of Understanding (LOU) #11 states, "ALL OVERTIME ON A HOLIDAY as set forth in Section 7.1 of the contract or ON THE WEEKEND WHICH IMMEDIATELY PRECEDES A MONDAY HOLIDAY OR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS A FRIDAY HOLIDAY SHALL BE VOLUNTARY. The only exception for holiday overtime noted in the LOU is "where necessary for facilities maintenance." No employee shall suffer retribution for his/her refusal or failure to volunteer.
Members are welcome to volunteer to work a holiday, but Boeing CANNOT force an hourly employee to work holidays or the weekends connected to a holiday (except where necessary for facilities maintenance). Keep in mind employees who volunteer to work a contractual holiday get their 8 hours holiday pay, plus double time for the time worked per Section 7.3 of the contract.
If any manager tries to insinuate or assign you to work on a holiday you would like to have off, please contact your Union Steward.
