How does a member qualify?
The ( OFFICIAL ) angry Contract results thread!
Yep. A change in leadership for the better after Hoffa’s gone might not change the voting turnout anyway.
Fall is a beautiful time of the year.

Yes you are correct. You would not have to pay union dues. However, the law requires you to instead pay an "agency fee" to the teamsters. Either way, they get your money

Was my center the only center hiring high amounts of pt people this past year? It's crazy now at my center. All these blue vests everywhere, and getting through the guard shack is a bitch now, with all these new faces waiting in line. Man I can swear the Union and UPS did this on purpose. Hire a bunch of new people, who don't care to vote, and dilute the "NO" votes. For sure it wasn't like a grand plan, they're not that smart, but they did hedge their bets.
Everything just seems like a biging show. That "strike authorization" was a big can of nothing.
You got me thinking... They start handing out bonuses across the country to new pt employees just over a year ago because they needed to give them some incentive to stay. And it is still going on. So what happens after the contract gets ratified.. do these bonuses which amount to more than the new minimum $13 go away? So they most if not all quit and things go back to the way they were before only difference is we are now stuck with this contract imposed. Maybe it was a grand plan after all. And my facility is not like you make yours out to be, I imagine you are working at a larger building with hundreds of people? I work in a smaller one, but our local was VOTE NO all the way and got involved/engaged employees. However the pre-load recognition collage here always seems to have new faces on it every 1-4 weeks it varies. Alot of people still coming and going here. The bonus is only $125, others on this board mentioning $200-300 in their building etc.. I bet those people who get more just see dollar signs and don't care about getting involved to begin with. How long do people have to work here to be sent a ballot (were they mailed one at all?) and be eligible to count towards the voter turnout? I think the union and company wanted this influx of employees to help skew the turnout not just because they "needed" them. Hey let's offer every new hire bonuses just to get them to flood in the door so we really don't know how many employees we actually have to send ballots to and make them count or if they vote at all.
