[QUOTE="RockinRobin, post: 1226860, member: 50986"] The first month is very difficult on most both physically, mentally, and financially. Remember, you have your "Union Initiation Dues" taken out of the first month of pay. That hurts a small part time paycheck. You are basically working a week for free the first month. Thereafter, you are hit with Union Dues monthly. A day or a Day and a half a month you work for free giving your money to the Union. Aside from this, you have to work excessively hard in many positions. Pick-off will not be assigned to newbees. You'll probably get a Loader position, or Unloader if you are lucky. This stresses back, arms and legs. If you love to sweat, you'll love these positions! I looked at them as a paid gym membership. That got me through when I wanted to quit. For most, they work a few days and realize that ramping up to 450 scans per hour with a 10 minute break for a 4 hour shift is no picnic, so they quit. I'm not surprised at the turn-over. Two choices, more people, or more pay. Lack of having to fork over union dues would be great, but that's pie in the sky thinking at present. This holiday season is going to be ROUGH! We are in the middle of an online buying frenzy. And we don't have the peeps to handle the flow. Yikes! [/QUOTE]
