BACKGROUND John Arnett was a truck driver for Saga Food Services. He was part of a bargaining unit represented by Teamsters Local 444. Arnettâs normal workweek con- sisted of four 10-hour workdays, Tuesday through Friday. The Labor Day holiday fell on a Monday, and as was past practice, employees who were normally not scheduled to work Monday observed the holiday on Tuesday. Thus Arnettâs Labor Day holiday was actually scheduled for Tuesday. At 11:00 P.M. on Tuesday night Arnett called the company and informed the clerk on duty that he was not coming to work on the following day because he was taking a personal leave day. Arnett did not receive permission from his shift manager or any supervisor to take Wednesday as a personal leave day. However, as established by past practice, the company did not refuse a personal leave day if the leave was re- quested an hour and a half or more before a workerâs schedule shift starting time. In sum, Labor Day was on a Monday, but Arnett was not scheduled to work Mondays so his Labor Day holiday was on Tuesday. Arnett then took a personal leave day on Wednesday. The company subsequently refused to pay Arnett for his holiday (Tuesday), claim- ing that he did not fulfill the requirements of the col- lective bargaining agreement. The union filed a grievance requesting that Arnett be paid his holiday pay because he fulfilled the requirement for holiday pay computation set forth in the collective bargaining agreement. POTENTIALLY RELEVANT CONTRACT PROVISIONS Article 7: Holidays Section 7.03. Holiday pay allowances will be given subject to the following terms and conditions: .. . (B) The employee shall have worked his full sched- uled work day immediately before and immediately after the holiday except for proven sickness or injury. The shift manager may offer to waive this rule in advance of the holiday, and acceptance thereof by an employee or employees shall be on a seniority basis. Article 23: Leaves of Absence Section 23.06. Each present employee will be entitled to four (4) days of personal leave per contract year. Said personal leave will be noncumulative, and said personal days will be paid if not used.
