Good day guys. i'll share my experience and I would gladly welcome some input. I was hired 8 mths (Jul 09) as a rate temp driver in preparation for the xmas season, my contract was suppose to expire on the last day Dec 09. I worked my ass off during this time period on a route no one wanted to take and so I had steady work throughout the season. Dec came and passed and the kept me on working in Jan with the same rate temp pay, I recieved no renewed contract or anything. Then suddenly they changed my paycode to air driver.....allowing me to make approximately half of what I use to get....I am now getting like 11.50/hr. I have no problem with this, the issue I have is that they have still kept me working this same fulltime route and its killing me, because when you check the numbers its just not worth it to be working that hard and long for the exact job I use to make double the amout. I feel like they are taking advantage of me because they see that I need the job.
I have not recieved any official notification that my payrate would have been changed, I havent recieved anything regarding my job status....nothing!!! I need to know if I am eligible to join the union and how do I go about doing it because I know they would do this crap to a union worker. Could someone please give me some advice
