67 Paid Holidays Include Election Day Holiday
The agreement contains a total of 67 paid holidays, including a new paid holiday on state and local Election Day on Nov. 1, 2005, and two family days.
The holidays will include Veterans Day in each year, as well as the two federal election days won in the last agreement on Nov. 2, 2004, and Nov. 7, 2006. The tentative agreement also maintains the Monday after Easter, the day commemorating the birthday of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the paid Christmas through New Year’s shutdowns.
