There are eleven holidays however we demand Columbus day since it is a federal holiday to make a total of twelve holidays. Those twelve holidays should get compensation in the form of a bonus pay.
If an employee is on vacation he/she should get his regular weekday run pay for the day instead of the current eight hours.
Holiday Night differential should be paid instead of the current regular weekday.
Bonus pay should be raised to $6.00 per hour. It should cover the spread instead of the work time of the run.
We do not agree with the fact that when new members work the holiday they get 1½ time for the day, it is unfair they should earn the bonus pay instead of eight hours. If a new member works 8 hours then he/she should be paid sixteen hours not twelve hours.
Accrual of holidays should be at the leisure of the member instead of the current maximum holiday accrual restriction of 6 per annum. Then after that they are paid.
Michael Alden DEMANDS...WANTS...THINKS. Who the hell cares what Michael Alden demands or says? Obviously not MTA Labor Relations. When he was very briefly a train operator his passengers DEMANDED only one thing from him and that was that train operator Alden get them SAFELY to their destination and that was apparently far too much to ask of Alden as this moron felt comfortable with enabling his conductor to open the train doors without a platform for them to safely step on to. This mind-boggling selfish and unsafe act which easily could have ended up in multiple passengers falling from a Bronx elevated structure to their death DISQUALIFIES Michael Alden from ever being taken seriously. If Alden didn't care about the lives of his passengers by committing a foolish, uncaring and unsafe act what makes you think for any more than 2 seconds that he gives a damn about his fellow TWU members?
