Our Holiday pay is based on what you work the week of the Holiday, not the week before. I am a full timer and I think that is the fairest way. I want to make sure that if I take off a Holiday, the person who works for me has the incentive to work. If they did not work the week before, and they get zero Holiday Pay, where is the compensation/fairness in that? If I take a Holiday off, I appreciate someone filling in...and it should not be a struggle to find coverage. FAA requires all part-timers to be scheduled for at least one shift per week - so if someone doesn't work the week before the holiday it's because they took time off - that's a personal schedule and choice of the one who got no holiday pay - not the contractor messing with us. We're paid holiday based on the week before - Sun-Sat. Our benefit is based on our location as well as our pay level. If you folks convince the FAA and/or the contractors that we need a national benefit then we lose - sorry, I'm NOT in favor.

According to the CBA....part timers, yes, would work the week before. Relief worker definition is 12 hours per week and/or 48 hours per month, so they may not work. Anyone who works a Holiday should get compensation, that's only fair. That's why I think counting the hours "the week of" the Holiday is best.

Our CBA is quite different in definitions - effectively we're all "part-time", as none of us have a regular schedule that is 40 Hours (6 on staff, station hours 24/7). Part time employees get all the benefits that full-time get, pro-rated per hours worked. Part-time must be scheduled for minimum 8 hours per week (just like the FAA requirement). It works for us - that yours is different is just that - different. Anyone who works should get holiday pay plus the hours worked - for our CBA that is figured by the hours worked the week before the holiday. If you can negotiate better, go for it.
An older CBA for us had employees working a holiday get 8 hours of holiday pay regardless of work hours the week before - this created strife over who would work the holiday and get that extra 1.6 hours pay... This was not at all "fair" in the eyes of anyone not working the holiday. I think what we have is the fairest - but I'm all for expanding available pay.

I am for making a standard H&W benefit for ALL CWOs. Because H&W was designed by the govt to be set aside to pay for benefits such as health insurance, dental insurance, eye vision coverage and contribute monies towards a retirement plan, I believe all CWOs should get more similar amounts. I am actually for making a standard $7.00 an hour benefit on top of our regular pay for ALL CWOs, so everyone will get the same amount depending on the hours they work. I do not agree with taking the Sunday DIFF away from part-timers. IBEX is the only contractor that is currently doing that. I think if anything the part-timers should be paid a little bit more when they have to work on the weekends. And that was what the Sunday Diff was for I thought. I am all for the contractors providing a health care and retirement plan, but I believe that they should also offer the opportunity to manage our own health care and retirement. My current contractors do this, but I am not sure that all 9 contractors offer you the H&W in your check. They may all do this for us now, but I would like to see it stay that way in the future based on the rising health care costs.

Folks, please negotiate your own H&W - our station did that a few years ago (working for Ibex) and we are making substantially more than 7/hour... I'm NOT in favor of any roll backs - don't do that to us. Thank you. Sunday diff should be paid to everyone, as it is here, even when we worked for Ibex.
