Greetings,
I am/was a seasonal hire (late nov) and i got a bunch of questions i cant seem to find on these forums. If you guys could answer some of them id appreciate it and maybe be of help to future new hires. Anyways
1. It's my 3rd week paying union dues ($19), does that mean i'm actually in? or do i have to wait til i finish paying all of it? can they send me home before 3.5 hours at this point?
2. I don't know much about this new contract, what would be my status once it passes? do i get retroactive pay?
3. I've seen people show up to work once or twice a week, how do they still keep their job..?
4. I've seen people doing "doubles" on my shift, yet people from my actual shift get sent home..can you do doubles on your own? like asking around if they need help or do you have to ask a ft supervisor? how would that work with a new hire?
5. What does it mean when a sup "power scans" his way out of the container? or when they ask you for your userid?
extra credit: For the tuition reimbursement, do you have to show proof for books purchased?
Thanks in advance!
ps. UPS is not that bad of a job as they make you believe online/interview/classroom/this forum
