Hello everyone.
I've been a UPS employee for 16 years. I've worked part-time on the Local Sort as a high value clerk. My job currently is not a union position, nor is it a management one. I have some benefits, but nothing compared to what a union or management person is offered. For this reason, I've been trying to get my job switched to a union position for some time. So far, I, and the union rep for our building, have had no luck.
I know that in some buildings in our state, they have a union person doing my job even though, technically, it is not a union position. I am trying to find out if this is a normal practice in other buildings as well. If it is, I would like to think the Teamsters would have a better case at changing the job to a union one so that everyone doing the job is offered the same benefits.
If there are any high value clerks or customer counter clerks out there that are union, please let me know of your situation and comment on this thread.
Thanks.
