[QUOTE="YM2k3, post: 929944, member: 39663"] I would like to clear something up as well. Many of you probably assumed this anyway. The only people I had seniority over were the other "New-hires" because I was hired about 2 weeks before anyone else. Anyway I went to look at all my paychecks, and I payed dues on every week except for my 1st and last weeks there. I payed 25 dollars for dues 7x amounting to 175.00, and I payed 43 dollars 2x for initiation fees amounting to 86 dollars. Therefore I paid 261 total. They charged 43 dollars during the first week of November and December. I read another post that said: Under article 44 seniority in 705's contract it reads, [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=2][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=2][LEFT]Employees hired to fill vacancies during the vacation period, or hired only for peak season (October 1st through December 31st) shall not be entitled to seniority. No new Employees shall be hired if Employees on the Seniority list are available at adjoining Centers and willing to perform the work. All employees hired to perform bargaining unit work shall pay union dues in the same manner as seniority employees of the[/LEFT] collective bargaining unit. Upon attaining seniority an employee [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][B][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=2][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=2]shall [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=2][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=2]be required to pay the Local Union initiation fees. [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] So at the very least, wouldnt I be entitled 86 dollars back? Because I Never attained seniority right? [/QUOTE]
