[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 851746, member: 18044"] Many people believe you have to be in the Union, you have to have made Seniority, to be protected by the Contract. I don't think so. The Contract covers the entire Bargaining Unit, not just dues paying union members. The Contract really covers "the work" rather than any particular individual employee. In Right-To-Work States, for example, the Contract applies fully to non-union members and union members alike. Almost all the provisions of the Contract apply to a New Hire from Day One. The major exception, as stated in the Contract, is that UPS can fire you during your probationary period without protest by the Union. But even here, UPS can't fire someone as a ruse to evade the provisions of the Contract. Of course, since you're new, you may want to "lay low" and not get a target on your back. I understand that. But your Steward should be quietly informed that the Company is violating the Contract, and everyone's standards are being eroded. I'll bet the Company is trying to send seniority members home too!!!
