In this episode of Parcels of Knowledge we once again we will be covering some of the changes your overtime will undergo during the December Exclusionary Period. That's right—we're talking hours, we're talking overtime, and we're talking about the Sexiest Article of the Contract, Article 8. She looks a little different during December, and we will be reminded how, and why. I will be explaining exactly which limitations are temporarily lifted and, more importantly, which rights still remain fully in force. Don't let the holiday rush tempt you into working more than the contract demands. Listen now to arm yourself with the knowledge you need to protect your schedule and your wallet this peak season!
