[QUOTE="Ashell, post: 1380769, member: 23726"] Being in the union allows you to vote. But it kind of seems like the votes don't really matter because there are a few unions that will throw your vote out if its not for the people already in office. And if they get bought out they will throw them away so UPS can impose whatever contract they want. You can go to the Christmas party in my area. Non-union workers are not invited. They will give you a copy of the contract. If you are not in the union they wont even sell you one. That way you never really know what the rules are or if UPS is breaking them. In our area they give you a day planner, retail value about 10$, you should keep track of your times in it. The steward might put a little extra effort into your grievance, but you can file if you are in or not. You also get a magazine. I never read it so I couldn't really tell you. I think its mostly just propaganda about how great IBT is and all the people they are helping to join the union. You can go to union meetings. My union hall is pretty far. I have never gone. I hear if you don't have something to say that agrees with what everyone else has to say, you will be bad mouthed and told to shut up. Pay, benefits, everything else is the same. [/QUOTE]
