Entire paycheck for initiation fee???

[Boston pete]

Been at ups for 3 months and they have been taking out my initiation fee for the last 3 weeks at 32$ per week. No problem there. This past week after working overtime the week before etc I look at my check...zero, zilch, nada. No check? All to union for initiation fee? Yes, no mistake all of it went to that. Right before Christmas,no explanation no warning no nothing. Wow. Anyone heard of this?? Btw they did it to everyone in Massachusetts hubs.

That you for your gratuitous gift to the needy teamsters.

 

[Wally]

Yea, if I were you, I would stop with all the questions...

We have a few preloaders where the union fees were more than what they made that week. The union had the loaders write the union a personal check to remain in the union.

the union or the wife or husband or boyfriend or girlfriend

A lot of p/o'd people in Chema yesterday.
Don't blame them.

Im pro union but charging seasonal employees union dues is a total scam.

 

[over9five]

Imagine working all last week for nothing...
2 weeks before Christmas.

I'm not sure who's to blame, UPS or the Teamsters, but there should have been a better plan.

Dues -- maybe but initiation fees--no way. Then again if it keeps my pension check coming----------double it.

If they were up front about this crap NOBODY would hire on for peak.

Teamsters.
UPS takes out what the Teamsters send in a file each week.

At $250 a pop the Teamsters love turnover. I am a Union guy put I have said all along the part timers are canon fodder to the IBT.

It's only $50 here for part timers.

I agree to a point but if they're doing union work they have to pay the union dues.

But they aren't getting any of the benefits

The language is designed for our part-timers to be the helpers. UPS choses not to go that route.

UPS pays a flat fee for each peak driver.
