[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 2060171, member: 42270"] I'm glad you raised the question because it gave me an excuse to actually do the math: A rookie PT'er starts off at $10, but let's just assume they're a pre-loader and make $11. And let's also assume they're making 25 hours/week (not happening on pre-load but for sake of argument). That's $275/week gross ($1,100/month) and $22/month in dues (I believe Teamsters making $11/hr or less only pay 2.0x rate in dues.) That's 2% of gross in dues (discounted rate.) I gross about $450/week (varies but I'm a 10+ year UPS PT'er with skill pay) in the building and pay $37/month in dues. I pay an estimated 2.05% on my gross in dues during a "regular" (non-peak) month. A driver (without taking into account OT, just their 8 hour/day guarantee) is grossing $1,391.60/week and pays roughly $87/month in my local. A FT driver pays 1.56% of their gross (no OT) in dues for a 4 pay period month - $5,566.40. Most feeder/package car drivers I know come in at about 50 hours/week. That's a gross of $1,913.45/week and $7,653.80/month; for a percentage of ~1.13% in dues off gross. Let's take a FT'er clocking in at 59.5/hours week. That's a gross of $2,409.21/week and $9,636.84/month. They would pay 0.90% of their gross in dues. Note: This all assumes a four pay period month and that top rate for dues is $87/month for drivers. It might be a bit more in some areas (and even my local, I might be off by a couple of bucks as I don't have the dues schedule in front of me) but should be in the ball park. [/QUOTE]
