USA, CA, civil service, IBEW. I'm between 5 and 15 years (different PTO for different service lengths).

15 days vacation, all federal plus 5 floating holidays, and 10 sick days.

It's 10 days vacation between 1 and 5 years, and 20 after 15.

USA, WA, IBEW. Less than 5 years, but ours doesn't change until 10 years(? I think I need to look this up).

20 days PTO accrual in a year, 2 personal holidays. No sick days.

I believe ours goes up to 28 days/year once at 20years with the company? It takes a lot for us

IBEW bud from the other corner of the country! To be fair, I’m not at 5 years yet, but I get 4 float days, 10 vacation, 7 sick days, unsure what it’s like for normal hourly workers but as a shift worker I work any holidays on my schedule. It’s hilariously bad, I only semi-joke when I say I’d like to go on strike from my own union to make it actually work for me.

Oh, and despite working well over 400 hours of overtime, none of that translates into extra vacation time. Yet corporate is flabbergasted at poor retention rates.

Our shift workers have the option to work on holidays for 2.5x. if the observed holiday is on their rdo they get a banked holiday. If they take it off they get normal 1x holiday pay
