Seasonal Covered Under New Contract?

[MassWineGuy]

I read an article about UPS and FedEx hiring seasonals. It said UPS seasonal employees are covered by the new contract. Just what’s covered for them? Do they also need to pay union dues?

It means I get the same pay rate as a new driver

No other benefits

Some places do charge union dues

Looks like that’s $23/hour. Dues would slash that dramatically.

Does this include driver helpers? They get $20/hour. FedEx, my employer, is no doubt paying less for seasonal help. I know where I’d go.

I have no clue what the driver helper rate is

 

[MassWineGuy]

The UPS listings say $20.

The UPS listings say $20.

Like I said I honestly do not know what the helper rate is

And only some areas charge seasonals union dues.

But it's a crappy job we might need you two or three hours couple days a week

And you have to go meet the driver on his route.

Not much incentive to be a helper

I did it for a couple of peaks years ago. Definitely not a great job. Depends a lot on the driver you work with. I’m ok enough with my $29/hour FedEx driver job.

That’s not a bad wage in some areas. Still gotta work hard to earn it though.

Sort of. I’m 10 years in. Lots of Express people retire without hitting top rate.

Oh really? By how much? Asking for a friend.

I think it’s set by the local. When I worked as a seasonal driver it was about $500 a month. And I received zero benefits under the contract. Robbery.

No one pays $500/mo for union dues. There may be an initiation fee, often times waived for seasonal workers, but the union dues would be about $58/mo, or $11.50/wk.

Ok. That seems more accurate for monthly dues. But I know I had some wacko high initiation fee.

Basic . You'll get a 10 minute break and up to an hour lunch. Dues are not bad where I'm at. Around $12.50 for part timers and maybe $30 something for full time. I'm not sure if you'd pay the part time or full time dues rate as an off the street seasonal.

$30 for FT? Do you mean a week?

It’s 1.5 times your hourly rate per month in my local
