[QUOTE="R. Mutt, post: 3755549, member: 74425"] I'm in central too, and yep, we have the $125 retention bonuses too. I gave up on that fight a while ago, but it still breaks my heart to hear a new hire threaten to quit the union over not receiving their bonus and being told by a reasonably irked steward that the union can't nor would really want to help them. Initially I was being kind of righteously indignant about it. The problem here it's a relatively new hub, the average seniority is at most 1 1/2 years. None of these guys have a clue what the union even is. I had to ratchet down and be sympathetic or else management will continue to drive a wedge between members. I personally gave my contract to a new sorter who was being written up after hitting seniority without a steward being present and without signing a waiver. If I hadn't happened to see it happen they would have kept doing it. The sort aisle here has no one with a full year let alone knows who their steward is. I'm 100% serious. Anyway, that's all for another thread. Glad to see another Duchamp connoisseur on here. It's hard not to have to embrace the absurd in this line of work. [/QUOTE]
