The Teamster's Union??

Yup I turned in the little application sheet and the shop steward tore it off gave me the pink copy and said "$5.00" please.

OK, so this was in 1936 or something? Or is that secretary that you handed the check to in the Teamsters office now your wife? (Just kidding)

haha no it was just last week. but I will ask our shop steward why the initiation fee was so low.

 

[Pickles]

You pay $800 plus Union dues every week or is that $800 per year or $800 total? I don't get it.

 

[Rob]

Thank you everyone for the replies. It was the union initiation. Here in CT it is 950 plus dues. They take 95 out of my check for the first 10 weeks. BTW I passed my driving test and should be in my 'browns' in class on monday. Thanks again, and go Sox!!!!

 

[Pickles]

Wow. That sucks.

 

[superbee]

20$ IN IOWA 850 is insane

 

[helenofcalifornia]

What the heck do you get for $950??? I hope you at least get a t-shirt. Or Hoffa's cell phone number. Even for a one time fee, that is outrageous. I paid $350 here in Norcal.
