Sorry to stray from topic...just thought I would gloat a little...why anyone would want PBS or any union allow it is beyond my understanding.
i get 20 days off a month anyway using pbs with out vacation. If i have vacation then forget it, with my slide i could nearly take an entire month off, with just 7 days of vacation. and thats with pay too.
i only worked the first 1 1/2 weeks in novemeber last year. and i had vacation and days off for the rest of the month.
in december last year i only worked the first week. then my days off and vacation took care of the rest.
so with just 2 weeks of vaction i only worked 2 1/2 weeks between november and december.
pbs is great if you are not at the bottom of the list and you know how to use it.
