Hoaxter,
Please tell me:
-- How many jobs provide no-cost benefits for PT employees that entail little out-of-pocket costs, including no-cost prescriptions;
-- Do you believe UPS offers benefits to its PT employees because it's a generous company that cares about the well-being of its employees ... or because its contractually required.
If the Teamsters are successful in negotiating no-cost benefits that keep out-of-pockets low (I do expect them to increase), then yes, I believe PT should join the union & pay their dues. If there's out-of-pocket fees attached -- in either the form of co-premiums and/or co-pays & deductibles -- that make the benefits cost prohibitive to the PTers so that they forgo them, then no, I do not believe so.
How about the first and maybe even 2nd year of employment?
When I signed up for cable TV, I got to see all the channels I paid for.
I would not have signed up for cable TV if all I got the first year was the QVC channel.
Do you think you should be able to use Microsoft Windows at home, but not pay for it?
Not if I can't use it for the first year.
I don't think I should pay the Union to negotiate and fight for me to get less than minimum wages (in many states).
Of course, if they expect to reap the rewards of collective bargaining and the protection that comes from Teamster representation.
yes we should, i couldn't imagine what kind of hell it would be without union representation.
my union dues are 32 dollars
I'm in Michigan which just passed Right-to-Work law and we are in the process of voting to institute a representation fee in all Michigan locals. Something similar is being challenged in the teacher union, the article is in the Detroit News.

Should a part-timer pay Union dues or wait until Full-time?
That is a question I have pondered.
I don't think I would pay dues as a part-timer but I would as a full-timer.
What say you?
