[QUOTE="Observer, post: 3158913, member: 50589"] Union dues are deducted from seasonals in Indianapolis, IN hubs. Had a friend who was a temp peak at their big hub and they showed me their paycheck- this was peak of 2014. They were told that since the contract was prior to Indiana becoming a right to work state - they had the right to deduct it. No other explanation was given. Since it takes 30 days for seniority - my friend knew that even if they had went to the union hall - the dues would still be taken out. In other words "taxation without representation." Sound familiar? So it varies - some have dues taken out as seasonals and other locations don't. To frustrate my friend - "they forget to put in their hours for the first week and just added them to the next week." So this is why finding people for peak is horrible. Plus FEdEx and Amazon are paying 2.62/hour and up more in Indianapolis, IN. All you have to do is look at history and see all the companies that are no longer OR having trouble retaining employees even as temps. NY Times had an expose about Amazon a few years ago. The line that gets me is when there is an accident - all big companies state - Safety is our top concern! - yeah right! [/QUOTE]
