[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 1211679, member: 37112"] I'm guessing you meant "[U]un[/U]believable enormous turnover rate". Initiation rules are followed by locals according to their bylaws (some reduce initiation for PT hires) and the IBT Constitution. Waivers of the Constitution rules are granted exclusively by the GEB. Most locals do indeed benefit from initiation fees if new members decide they don't want the job. If those decisions are made within the first thirty days, new members don't pay initiation. After that, locals without waivers must charge initiation and must remit the prescibed % to the IBT. Some locals in RTW states don't charge initiation at all. Newly organized groups are often waived. This is across the board stuff for ALL new members (not just UPS) though so I'm not sure any conspired design is involved. How does the IBT know new UPS pt's will quit? As far as not caring about pt members, every contract since the 70's has contained language improvements for pt's, even though it's well known pt's are limited in electoral interest. If the IBT didn't care, it's hard to imagine any efforts being made to improve the PT position. [/QUOTE]
