[QUOTE="..., post: 5343468, member: 79151"] [USER=14176]@Bubblehead[/USER] I'm not anti union, so don't get me wrong here, but... Part of the HR hiring process. No union involvement. There is no union presence during the hiring process, no speech, and no handbook. Only if they go looking for them. That's not the union reaching out though, that's the member looking for help. Again, only if they go out of their way to find out about them. I believe you're a business agent now, is that correct? If this is how you do things in your local, that's great. But in two UPS facilities, in two locals, my experience has been that there is no outreach to part timers. It took me 2 months to get my hands on a contract book, and that was with me badgering the only steward I knew about. Nobody explained grievance procedures, discipline procedures, what it means to be a Teamster, etc. The part timers in the locals I was in are entirely on their own in that regard. This has always been my biggest complaint about the union when I worked at UPS. Nobody took the time to introduce themselves or explain things. You got hired, signed the paperwork with the HR guy, they sent you to cornerstone, then you start working. [/QUOTE]
