[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1156796, member: 42270"] My local waives initiation fees for new part-timers, so I'm a little unfamiliar with how it works. I'm assuming they aren't deducted until you attain seniority. Does your pay stub say "Union Initiation Fee" and "Union Dues"? While it varies from region to region, you generally attain seniority by having 30 [B]working[/B] (not [B]calendar[/B]) days within a 90-day period. If you attained seniority, you cannot be arbitrarily dismissed or terminated. If you were charged an initiation fee and never attained seniority, your local should refund this money. If you need help finding your local, reply or inbox me with your city. And just some side commentary: why is it always preloaders getting axed before they make book? This almost never happens in the hub unless the employee simply stops coming to work or walks out mid-shift. I've seen some truly horrendous employees (and I usually don't make value judgements on another union member's work ethic) make book in the hub. Is it the lack of available work and the high turnover rate? [/QUOTE]
