[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 2143412, member: 42270"] There's a major problem with whacking part-timers with initiation fees in the hundreds of dollars when they're grossing $180-200/week tops. A new hire's first or second interaction with the union (first being new hire orientation with a steward) shouldn't be seeing half of their paycheck go up in smoke after working one of the most physically difficult jobs out there. My local waives initiation fees for new hire PT'ers and it's something I think every other local in the country (if financially sound) should consider doing. That being said, this story doesn't pass the smell test. No one should be getting hit with dues and initiation fees until they've attained seniority and once seniority is attained, they're guaranteed their 3.5 hours a day. [/QUOTE]
