[QUOTE="Method Mensch, post: 4255999, member: 71846"] When I went through the new hire process about 13 years ago, they were very clear about the initiation fee. They stated up front that if you did not stay on after peak, you would have to go to the union to get the initiation fees paid back to you. The even went so far as explaining that it would take three months before we would be enrolled in the healthcare plan. It is always paid 3 months in advance. I remember it well, because the primary reason I work for UPS, even to this day, is the healthcare benefits. After I passed my 30 days, my wife and I wrote a check for the remainder of the amount owed so we didn't have to wait 60 days to get on the plan. It was financially worth it, even considering the initiation fees. The fracas over all the initiation fees being pulled at once was an obvious mistake. Management pointed the finger at The Union, and vice versa. My understanding is that Management controls payroll, The Union had to ask Management to pull all the past initiation fees owed at once, after they discovered that none were being pulled on a weekly basis. The story I heard is that Management screwed up and instead of taking just the past due amount, they took the entire initiation fee out. Bottom line: this was a mistake. [/QUOTE]
