Union and salaried employees of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors

have not worked on Election Day for the past 15 years,

due to a contract between the automakers and the UAW.
In any case we have a few real dumb holidays

... election day should be a national holiday and replace a lame one.

Columbus Day isn't a national holiday and some states do not observe it either. Berkley CA instead celebrates Indigenous People’s Day, LOL. I'm surprised Cambridge MA hasn't picked up it's queue on this.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

I know its a contractual thing so it's not really a big deal.......I just think the UAW is a joke and the biggest reason for the underachievement of the US auto industry.
