Section 11.1 Holidays Observed
Section 11.1 Holiday[edit]
The following eleven (11) [ten (10)] days shall be considered holidays for full-time
employees and part-time regular schedule employees, hereinafter referred to in this
Article as “employees”:
- New Year's Day
- Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday
- Washington's Birthday (Presidents' Day)
- Memorial Day
- Juneteenth National Independence Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Columbus Day
- Veterans' Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
Explanation:
The proposed change adds Juneteenth as a holiday for full time and part
time regulars, in accordance with Juneteenth National Independence Day
Act signed by President Biden and guidelines previously issued by the
USPS Deputy Postmaster General. This agreement also recognizes the
alternative notation of Washington’s Birthday as President’s Day. Finally,
the addition of “employees” to the first sentence makes clear that these
holidays apply to both full time regular and also full-time flexible employees
created under the new MHA auto conversion MOU.
