So I was hired in August as a seasonal "reg-temp" driver and was told we're hired as part-timers. Was told after 30 working days, I had the option (I'm in a RTW state) of joining the union. Started my 30 in October and am now done.
But I've also heard others say that's not true. That I can't qualify after November 1, seasonals can't be union, blah blah. But the Reg-Temp job sheet I have in my hand from HR says "The jobs are union positions in the Teamsters Local (my local)," then listing the fee and dues.
Doesn't really make much difference at this point, as I'm already here and working, but I'd like to join if I can. Not sure who to even ask at my center, so I'm asking here, although I might try the Local, too, I guess.
