Yep he can tell you that. Why not go in on a few fridays so you can get the holiday week off. Your foreman is probably the one that has let you go a little early for personal reasons, or do some personal business on company.
You have to work with your foreman not against him.
Don't mess it up for the rest of the crew, it will be hell to pay.

Why break down conditions? It all starts with the carrot on the stick, "take the whole holiday week off" then you'll be working saturdays for straight time and being told not to come in on a regular day.....

Talk to your local...

I would definately call your Union Hall. That is Bullsh?t and it doesnt make a diff if you are an apprentice or not you are a Union Dues Paying Brother. Do You have a Steward on your Job if so talk to him. I am scheduled to work 4 tens if one of the days fall on a holiday we dont make it up on Friday because then we are working on Friday for straight time which other wise wouldnt be. That is clearly stated in our union contract.

Go by your contract and you can't go wrong. If you start to make side deals in the end all it makes for is problems down the road.
