If a holiday falls not on my scheduled work week, am i allowed to work that holiday?

I work in a union and i have the most seniority than the other workers. I usually have Friday and Saturdays off, and Christmas this year falls on Friday. My employer scheduled me to work on Christmas, but took it back saying I was not able to work and gave it to another worker since it was my day off. I am wondering if this is true or not.

The answer lies in your collective bargaining agreement between your employer and your union. I would assume that you are not to work on your days off unless work is otherwise available and offered to you. But check with your union and CBA.
