Volunteer? Ha. Not sure if they changed anything this year, but last year you had to work Thanksgiving/black Friday shift. Working the overnight hours (I think midnight to 6AM) gets you an extra $1 per hour. No 1.5x or 2x pay. Full time employees may get something but not part timers.

If you work on the holiday they should pay 1.5...Also I can understand if it employees volunteer to work on the holidays but the forcing is what I'm against for the ones that actually want that day off.
