[QUOTE="ducky13swing, post: 106942, member: 6028"] stavio-I have just read all of your comments, but not many of the replies, because it did get way off track. Your camel back idea is a good one, we have several people here who wear them. For you, do not do it yet. You will need the little time you get to relax when you get your water bottle and take a drink. Maybe by peak season you would be OK to have your camel back. Your supervisor is really hurting you by not letting you work everyday. The more time you spend away from doing the job, the more pain you will be in when you return. You also will not be able to get up to the desired speed they want because you can't practice (unless you have a truck and a yard full of boxes). As for the pre-existing back injury and asthma. Well, maybe you should re-evaluate whether this is the right job for you. Those are perhaps the worst two ailments you can have when doing this kind of job. As for the union dues, they will take anything they can get. Talk to your supervisor. You should be able to get that back. You are not union until you reach seniority. Seniority is 30 days worked. In your first 30 days you can be released (disqualified) for any reason and the union will not represent you. At the rate you are working, you may not even make seniority. If you were hired as seasonal, you probably will not make seniority at all. So the union has taken your money for no reason. No seasonal employee is represented by the union and dues should not be collected from seasonal employees. So you are either a regular P/T employee entitled to the same as all other regular employees, or you are seasonal, you can not be both. Get your money back and break your ties with the union if you can. [/QUOTE]
