It's normal in a lot of places for dues to come out, basically as part of working as a new employee.
For all new hires, go here (on topic)

I'm also confused! What else do you want to know? I haven't worked 90 calendar days yet, but I've been paying union dues since week 1. My PT sup sends me home after 2.5 hours most days.
At least here they don't take dues out, until you make book. In the mean time you have no guarantees.
That's what confused me. They don't do that here.

I always thought that with all the crap these newbies go thru that they would be able to stand up for themselves later on. Turns out I was wrong.

At ours. I believe they have a certain amount of course they can spread out amongst you all. Less hours means meeting production. Which is what the wigs want. Good numbers. But if you want more work. They will send someone else early and you may stay.

Thanks, everyone. Guess I'll try to survive on ramen and lentils until next month. 
I agree. If you are paying dues, you should be entitled.
Wonder how many quit and never get a refund?
We all went through it. Hang in there kid.Thanks, everyone. Guess I'll try to survive on ramen and lentils until next month.

I never asked this of you....but are you a steward? You have what it takes!
No I am not. Even though many want me to run for it.

Sounds like he may be paying his initiation fee in weekly installments.

Pretty sure I did that way back when
You shouldn't have to do that before you get in the union.

You shouldn't have to do it period. No way it costs the Union up to $500 to process a new member. It is gouging, pure and simple.
And that's why the union wants a high turnover rate for the part timers.
It's a money maker for them and saves UPS a bundle.

Yea a driver. The reason I was asking is cause I told another fellow PC driver that I got called back right after I clocked out and left and his response was. "make sure the whole second punch is time and a half". So I was just curious if that was a thing. That's when I first started and that particular day I just ran air then they called me right back.
