DQ'd This Morning

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

He is not in the union

He said he is paying dues

 

[UnconTROLLed]

I think whoever his union guy is doesn't want to work that's what it sounds like to me

Could be

He said he is paying dues

He may be paying initiation fees and thinks they are dues.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

It's possible but they should be taking them out until you are in the union.

Ours were taken out the first 4 weeks. $25 a week.

 

[YoungGuy]

What should I do? Should I take the warehouse job and try requalifying? I'd certainly have to find another job. I really wanted this, but it seems like its not in the cards for me. The way they DQ'd me, I dont see them giving me an oppurtunity to drive.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Depending on his trail period language, it's probably almost impossible to grieve it. We all know they can DQ you for pretty much anything.

True but even you would have to admit that "not taking the job seriously" is a new one.

I would take warehouse job and grieve it if you are indeed in the union worst case scenario you can bid on something later

BS.

Until he gains seniority, he has no rights other than the contractual rate of pay.

2001 "init fee"

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Then I would file no matter if someone wants you to or not always look out for number one something I have been taught by many of our senior drivers

File based on what? As was said above, they can DQ you for just about anything, although "not taking the job seriously" is one I hadn't heard before.

My point exactly someone didn't want him to qualify as an outside hire they must have someone inside that they know is what it sounds like to me

If you take the PT job you will no longer be able to be hired as a off the street hire. You'll have to wait till you're seniority affords you the right to qualify again. You may want to ask around and see what the wait time is to be a RPCD in that building. Because in some areas it can be anywhere from 6months to 11years.

You say that like I never admit to things lol.

Yes it's a new one but he may have been given better reasons but that was the one the OP latched on to.

 

[burrheadd]

Why pay dues if you aren't represented? Can someone explain that?

Maybe somebody from local 25 can answer

Seems to be sop for them

If they are paying fees but not dues, they are at-will employees, correct?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

If you take the PT job you will no longer be able to be hired as a off the street hire. You'll have to wait till you're seniority affords you the right to qualify again. You may want to ask around and see what the wait time is to be a 22.4 in that building. Because in some areas it can be anywhere from 6months to 11years.

fixed it for you

 

[542thruNthru]

Can't have 22.4s if they hired off the street to be a RPCD.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Can't have 22.4s if they hired off the street to be a RPCD.

I'm pretty sure all off the street drivers will be 22.4 from now on

 

[542thruNthru]

I agree. What I meant was the new contract says if the building has 22.4s they can not hire off the street RPCDs.

So if he was hired off the street as a RPCD then that must mean his building doesn't have T-S yet.
