how to quit the union?

[bscott85]

has any1 on this forum quit the union? ive heard its difficult.. ive been at UPS for almost 5 years now and im just fed up with the dues, the way they defend awful employees and where my money ends up going

so how does 1 leave the union?

and what would be the pros/cons of leaving the union

thanks

edit: im new to this forum and just read a lot of past threads and see a lot of hate towards ppl that are anti union..

just wanted to clarify ive been in the union for almost 5 years (not required to join union in VA, joined voluntarily) and i just dont think that it has served me well in my case and i want to leave, i know several people in my hub that have worked here 10 years+ and never been in the union and i cant help but think of all those wasted dues ive paid and got nothing out of it.. also i know of 3 specific people in my work area alone that are also interested in leaving the union

You quit

 

[bscott85]

care to elaborate? pros/cons?

 

[chopstic]

You'll have to check with your state's labor laws. I think only some states allow for people to seperate from their union and keep their position.

 

[trplnkl]

you decide your own pros and cons, if VA is a right to work state, call the union (you may have to go to the hall) and withdraw.

 

[spuman]

Go into management,where the awful employees get promoted.

 

[brownmonster]

Call the APWA. You sound like the perfect candidate.

Look at it on the positive side. Your union dues pay for your bargained rights, health care, your pension, vacations, sick days and holiday pay. So my opinion is no don't quit the union. Don't worry about the dumbasses the union protects, That is their job. You just do yours and be a good forthright employee which I bet you are

What he said. Plus if you want a new local vote the others out and get new ones. If you want better stewards vote for a new one and or become one. I have been hearing a lot of guys wanting to get out of the union over the last number of years.

Union getting weak and not enforcing the contract. No one getting back pay anymore and constant harassment.

Then vote out your local and if you do not like Hoffa vote him out too.

We need to enforce the contract and hold the union to the fire since we pay their salaries.

Allright let's go down memory lane again. The movie is caddie shack , the vibrations of the groundskeepers bombs finally cause the ball to fall into the hall. Now the dialogue.

Rodney dangerfield's character - Allright , Smells (ted knight judge) that's 80 grand you owe me , now fork it over!

Smells: You, You, you'll get nothing, do you hear me? Nothing.

Rodney - Yeah, I figured as much, hey Moose, Rocko, help the judge find his checkbook.

Thanks, steve, for keeping moose and rocko alive all these years

People dont appreciate the union until their job is in jeopardy or they get into trouble and they need the support of their local. I say lets inform all these people exactly how to quit the union. Then when they get pushed out of their job by management the rest of us union worker will have more opportunities to go full time.

The union still has to get their jobs back.
