[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 513056, member: 6408"] I'll throw a few of my cents worth. How long do you want to work here? You want to become friend/T? You want to be P/T supervisor? You want to become friend/T supervisor/manager? I think a little bit of self-examination is needed. Why? Well, I'll get dissed on this but here goes: You only plan to be here for a short time, as in finishing your schooling then going off to pursue other interests, I don't think it's financially to your benefit to join, if you have the option. As was said, you'll have initiation dues taken out then monthly dues after that. You ready for that? You want that if you're only here for a yr or two? You want some stability in your life if you choose to move on to other positions, such as driver, then you NEED to join. You will be faced with issues that you not believe could have existed in a corporation. You may be the hardest worker you have ever known and dedicated to your job but there will always be something in your 5, 10, 20, 30 year career that'll come up that you wish you had more protection. Joining is not a matter of making more $. You get the same as your position pays, union or not. To me, it's a matter of protection. I've used the union many times over the years when I didn't plan to when I was hired. Not that I'm a trouble maker, I just want things done right when I do things right. You'll always come across a green supe that wants to knock the earth off its axis and come up with some off-the-wall plan that's gonna do that. It's gonna affect YOU. What recourse do you have when his/her plan is wrong and it's wronging YOU? There's way more but this will get things rolling again for you and on here for you AND me. Watch. You don't get any answers from your steward, then go to a BA directly. [/QUOTE]
