[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3833030, member: 14176"] You are working in a union shop, making a union negotiated wage, therefore you absolutely should be paying monthly dues. "Initiation fees"....now that's a different story in my opinion. Rules reportedly vary from local to local for these seasonal and vacation replacement employees during these "free periods", but personally I feel if you never obtain seniority there is no reason for you to be "initiated"....anything more being more aptly termed as hazing. ....and we wonder why unions continue to hold a disfavorable public opinion??? How many tens, if not hundreds of thousands of college students (former helpers and season employees) take these misgivings with them when they matriculate into the work force? In the end, learn how your local handles these periods and do what's best for you....which in my Local is to quit on your 29th day and apply for your "initiation fee" back, leaving UPS high and dry for the last couple weeks of Peak.
