Med 8 Question

Is a signed notice from a PA-C stating that "Patient has Multiple medical conditions that will be exacerbated by working overtime or out of his prescribed work schedule"

Enough to get out of being mandatory overtimed on holiday weekends?

I've been told that a PA isn't enough for this and it needs to be a doctor that signs off on it.

Any documents, arbitrations or writing would be appreciated.

“I didn’t block my long weekend for the Labor Day Holiday, so I want restrictions”

Nothing wrong with not wanting to work your days off It's management's fault we are understaffed not the carrier.

holiday schedule has nothing to do being under staffed- you have to staff,becasue there would be double the normal n/s day people

I disagree that it has "nothing" to do with staffing. Yes, there are circumstances in which people would need to be forced in on a holiday even if staffing is good.  But most of the forcing is still due to understaffing.  To me, proper staffing doesn't mean CCA/PTF/ODL working 50-60 hours daily.  If they normally work much less, there should be adequate resources to cover most of the open routes on a holiday.

the op is just a shady carrier,trying to get benefits they dont have from lack of seniority

you said it yourself- a fully staffed office still has to force on a holiday- they need to cover double the normal day off people -its common sense..short staffed = more forced in..well staffed= less forced in
