Hello everyone, I've searched and read many threads on my issue but still haven't been swayed on a definite path.
I have worked for UPS as a PT package handler for about 8 years (local 170) and I recently put my two weeks in because I have landed a full time job elsewhere. There was no full time opportunity available at UPS and I would have to work many more years and possibly work nights if I ever did want full time (oh and ill never go driving, completely out of the question.) I enjoyed working at UPS, never got injured, and always worked hard.
My main question is, what do I do with the union? I've been told for $1.00 I can withdraw my card and if I ever need to come back, ill start at my ending rate and still have my seniority. I have also been told I can take all my union startup fees back ($500 i believe) Taking back the $500 is very enticing but I also like having a backup plan/job security.
My second question is that, my vacation and sick days reset in May, which is more than a month and a half away. If I leave before then, I do not get to collect on any of it even though I worked close to 11 months out of the year cycle, correct or no?
tl:dr: Found a full time job, do i take back the$500 or withdraw my union card/ and do i get to collect on my vacation sick days even though they reset in May.
And for your time, here is a cat being scared by a cucumber.
