[QUOTE="hondo, post: 1492556, member: 8661"] Maybe, just maybe, they (the teamsters) can explain the process to you. [U]On this forum you are getting replies from people who don't know the union contract language and practices in[B][I] your [/I][/B]area. [/U]They are speaking from their experience in their area, and possibly from 10-20 years ago. Get a notebook or pad of paper & a pen. Google "Teamster local union ups <your city or city your hub or center is in>". Call the union, ask to speak to the Business agent who represents the members in the hub or center you worked in. Explain your situation. Write down what he or she tells you. Find out what steps you and/or the union should take, follow through on your end. It sounds to me like you are only about halfway through your probationary period, this is one of the things the Business Agent should explain to you. Also ask him/her if you should get a 'temporary withdrawal card' from the union, so you don't owe union dues for any month you aren't working. If you end up not working for the company (for whatever reason), write a letter to the Principal Officer & Executive Board of the local union, asking for a refund of your initiation fee. [/QUOTE]
