Hey! The clown that traded the car let the satellite radio subscription expire!



It was tough!

Is that one of Shifter's birds?

Glad I don't have to deal with union fees here. Not worth it for a month.

If someone is going to make a FT career you should join. If you're an at will helper for a month you shouldn't be forced to do it.

I had to get the bluetooth fixed in my truck this weekend. I had to listen to FM for 3 days. I felt like a neanderthal or @Brownslave688

You can't be forced to join any union here. It's against the law. Hence why union fees are not deducted from driver helpers pay.

Nor can you be forced here as a seasonal. I'm about as anti union as they come. Trust me. But if you are a FT Driver at UPS, you should be in the union. It doesn't mean you have to vote, or go to meetings, or file grievances. It's just a respect thing.

They always hit up the temp. newbies for dues when I worked. I always thought that was pretty low knowing they would never be kept on.

It's probably done in union states more than right-to-work states.

Well, that obviously makes sense. In right to work states you have to make an effort to join. You aren't automatically enrolled. In a closed shop state you are required to join.

So, this is my 3rd time doing driver helper. The first year the pay was 12.88/hr before last year it jumped to 15$/hr. Last year the union dues had one big lump of $20+ for one week and like 8.50 for the other 3 weeks in the month. Unfortunately this year it's raised significantly up to $28.50 for all 3 of paychecks so far including the orientation check which was a little much. This can't be right, right?

Helper pay is $8.50 here, wow.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Helper pay is $8.50 here, wow.

Come to work for two hours and make $17. Minus taxes and $5 for bus fare. Merry Christmas.

 

[Indecisi0n]

Don't want to pay dues then go get a job somewhere else.

I have no radio at all in my daily driver.

 

[Brownslave688]

Helper pay is $8.50 here, wow.

Yeah zero chance I'd come in for that.

 

[GillEagan]

Helper pay is $8.50 here, wow.

It was about that two years ago here. Last year it was $10 and this year it is $10.10.

 

[brownmonster]

You pay the dues in my local and if you are let go after peak they are returned. If you are kept on after 30 days you payed your initiation. Helper pay is $15.

@Showtyme, If you are not in a RTW state, get a withdrawal card from the union, then if you come back again, you get all the money you paid in credited to you.
