Reply #1: For shame 42 days off a year including 5 weeks vacation

[doc03]

and 17 paid days. That is 5 weeks vacation or 25 paid days and 17 other paid days off, that totals 42 days. I get 5 weeks vacation and 10 paid days off that's 25 paid vacation days and 10 holidays for a total of 35 days. I believe the extra 7 days the auto worker get are sick days. I have heard in Germany everyone is required to take 5 weeks vacation a year, those Socialist Pinkos. How many paid days does a teacher get how many sick days? How many holidays do government agencies observe. How many days off does a Congressman get? How many days does W spend at Camp David or out on the Pig Farm? I also assume the new hire is not getting 5 weeks vacation the first year, as a steelworker it takes 25 years service to earn a 5 week vacation and I imagine about the same in the UAW. Another thing I believe the UAW accepted a two tier wage scale just last year, that's where a new employee starts at a much lower wage and is not paid full scale for years maybe never I don't know..
