STEVE UPS GUY how come never seen you at union meeting every 3 rd saturday.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Just curious - how could you get expelled from the union?

I've been told that posting a pool questioning the validity of a grievance on vending machine prices will get your butt booted in a heartbeat.

If you are spying on other members and reporting to management or if you are a feeder and scabbing for another company during layoff. I am sure there are other ways, those are 2 that i know of.

If you're laid off you can't find temporary work to support you and your family? Is the union going to pay your mortgage, buy you food, pay your utilities, make your car payment?

Most creditors will work with you if you call them and discuss the situation with them. Unemployment insurance protection is available from most creditors that will ensure that your accounts stay current while you are laid off. Please check with your local to see what assistance (if any) will be available for you if the need does arise.

Not here. The dues go to help fedex organize-when hell freezes over, and keep a driver who has been fired 3 times-very good use of dues.

We had a diver that was brought back 4 times. Each and every time he was fired without good cause and should not have been fired in the first place. Very good use of dues.

This is a very good argument in favor of joining the union!

But, what if you have enough seniority to work, but take voluntary layoff because you do not like running a route. Then, while on voluntary layoff, go drive OTR for a neighbor.....

I am pretty sure that you can do that, IF you pay dues for the other job.

The person that I am referring to does not and I am pretty sure that this person is risking their union membership for cash under the table....

Sorry,

I thought you meant a real layoff, not the occasional day here and there.

Ahhh, Thanks for clearing that up. I thought the same as ih8tbrn.

I'm guessing the cause was that his center didn't have enough volume to deliver underwater?

Sorry - Couldn't resist on the diver

And it is not the occasional day. Last spring, it was for almost 3 months and pretty much all of September....
