Am I in the union?

[hondo]

ive been working at ups for about a month and a half now, union dues and initiation fees have been taken out of my checks. So am I in the union or no?

@chris1224 : You are not "in the Union" until you have 'attained seniority' (sometimes called 'making/made book'), meaning you worked through your probationary hire period without being fired. The probationary period varies around the country; it could be 30, 40, or 70 working days (or some other # I haven't come across yet).

File some grievances. Call to try to find your BA a bunch of times. If he/she eventually answers, and informs you your grievances have no merit, you are in. Lol.

Actually, you can join after 30 calendar days- not 30 working days.

Um I hope BigUnionGuy doesn't see this.

Because you're mistaken. It's working days. Even where you are in upstate.

Nope. Seniority 30 working days. Can join union after 30 calendar days.

We don't get those paper receipts anymore

This is what we used to get. Damn- 15 bucks for Union dues— that’s outrageous.

Ok, I'm a little confused. We can pay the invitation fee the first day and that means we joined the union. Where does yours say you have to wait 30 days?

Once you make book you're protected by the union. Before that you're let go as the company sees fit.

Holy crap you save some old crap

Just check out Article 3 section 3. Not trying to fight with you. As an example- casuals never gain seniority but they do join the union. Or did , depending on if you sill have casuals.

It doesn't actually say you have to wait- says you have to join on 31st day after starting. Doesn't say after seniority. Either way, I agree- I hope that Big Union Guy....doesn't see any of this. Really not in the mood for all the patting on the back. Lol.
