[QUOTE="BrownRecycler, post: 3855275, member: 73454"] [USER=75776]@Mart Man[/USER] $500 is kind of steep in my opinion for a temporary seasonal worker that is allow to work for 3 months. $500 / 3 = $166.66 init fee per month The problem is with the UPS payroll. If they charged you $166.66 on your first week, you end up with (approximately $0 on the first week) provided that you had a part time job. We didn't see your paystub so there is no telling what is the dollar amount and how many hours work that you work. This is not to says that I am blaming you. $500 is still too high. When the management told you to blame the Steward, they basically threw the stewards under the bus. Steward had no control or access to your payroll nor the union's init fee and union dues.
