Joining the Union

[Desk Manatee]

Hello,

I'm a new hire and thought joining the union was automatic, but after looking at my pay stubs, I see that's not the case. How would one begin the process? I apologize if this is a commonly asked question.

Thank you!

From the day you're hired there is a 70 day countdown. My supervisor notified our trainee group that we were a permanent crew. If your supervisor doesn't mention anything they'll lay you off after the holiday craze.

Call the your local union and talk to them.

If we are not union but some holiday group can we still contact the union?

Regarding what?

Honestly just representation. From what I can gather the Teamsters were developed to keep people from being treated poorly and being taken good care of. In my experience I wish I were part of a Union years ago.

The (private) unions of today are nothing like they were back in the day.
