[QUOTE="KCpkg, post: 321458, member: 14659"] I agree with what you are saying. Sorry if i came across as negative to the union. There's no way UPS would be offering the benefits they do without the union working the contracts. I was disappointed in the steward. I have never worked a job where even joining a union was an option. I'm not the typical PT package handler either. I'm in my mid 30's have a wife and kids. My wife and I both lost our benefits about a year ago and COBRA is going to be running out soon. One of my kids has some health issues and that was one of the main reasons I came to UPS for the PT job with benefits. I'm aware the union provides a benefit AND protection but am now taking my time to try and learn more about it UPS wide and locally before I fill out the paperwork. I don't have my seniority yet so its not like they would even start taking the dues yet anyway. If the steward had done his job I probably would have joined that day. Unfortunately he made it sound like there was no reason to join but that we should out of some implied debt. Not a great sales tatic. [/QUOTE]
