If we have a positive sick bank or disability bank, we should be able to use it. Period. There should be no questions asked.

Teachers get up to a certain amount of "personal days" as well, in addition to their sick banks.

In this business, when I have missed countless holidays and special occasions over the years, you should be able to use your sick bank for a "personal day". I am not really talking about using them for Christmas, but things like graduations and weddings.

The union and the company should explore holiday pay. Any holiday requiring a sick note, should pay draft for the entire trip that touches said holiday. That includes the day before and the day after, as the company now dictates sick notes for those days as well.

The junior guys who have to work holidays should get draft. Everyone else on the ramp is getting overtime, we should as well.
