Dec. 24 Executive Order Excludes USPS
White House order giving federal employees the day off doesn’t include postal employees
The Executive Order President Bush issued yesterday excusing executive branch employees from duty Monday, Dec. 24, does not include postal employees. The day is to be treated as a normal business day for USPS.
Office of Personnel Management Director Linda Springer said the Executive Order “does not affect Postal Service workers, nor does it include Executive Branch employees whose agencies determine they cannot be excused for reasons of national security, defense or other essential public need.”

so what else in new…this has always been the case…i for one loved to work on Chrismas Eve..
just another day to cram 10 hours of work into 8..can’t wait for wednesday the 26th either..
So……….The regular “feds” — who do little physical work anyway — get a four-day weekend, with TWO paid holidays, while the lowly Postal Workers get to work Xmas Eve, at regular pay.
Where the hell are the well-paid Union leaders on this one? Bet THEY won’t be working Xmas Eve! Can’t they negotiate at least extra pay for us?
How ’bout the union-backed politicians? Bet THEY won’t be working, either!
Another demonstration of how official Washington despises the only federal workers trusted most by the public!
This is a perfect chance to give us a floating holiday. We work the 24th and take a day off later in the year.
How many holidays do these guys need anyway. They currently get almost twice the holidays that the average working stiff gets.
