[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 469165, member: 9310"] Again, UPS doesn't calculate the deductions. Initiation, dues, fines (working nights exempts me from being fined for not showing up to enough meetings each quarter, but I pay a $65 picket duty assessment each year by deduction from my paycheck for not doing without sleep to show up and stuff envilopes or hand out political info, etc.), misc. fees (when I nearly died from untreated diabetes they had me send them a check for $0.50 to process a membership withdrawal -- but then took dues anyway for a month when my only pay from UPS was for the Fourth of July! -- but then didn't cash it, but took $0.50 out of a subsequent paycheck and sent the check back) are all added up by the union and sent to UPS for collection. It's in the contract. And I've never heard of UPS not handing over to the union every penny they deduct. So if too much is taken it's the union you need to deal with. UPS can choose not to hire you if you work for a competitor. But I don't think they can fire you merely for going to work for a competitor. $400!? See below... And do the 12-18 month delays in qualifying for insurance apply to ft? [URL]http://www.tdu.org/files/final.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
