[QUOTE="brownrecluse, post: 265485, member: 12286"] I have just over 2 weeks of seasonal package driver experience w/UPS, and absolutely no union experience whatsoever. I recall filling out a union application at one of my preemployment paperwork sessions, and I was made aware of the fact that I would be paying union dues each week? month?... not sure which. Questions... Am I a union member as a seasonal driver? If so, I have no idea of what Local, etc. Do I have voting rights, representation, etc? If not... what exactly do my dues cover? (this is in no way meant to sound like I don't want to pay my dues... I am truly ignorant in union matters) However, as I continue to read in this forum... I don't believe that I'll be union-ignorant for long...:wink: Please correct me if I am wrong, but unless I'm missing something, for folks in my situation (newbie, with career aspirations) it sounds like the proposed new contract may be a step in the wrong direction. I acknowledge that this observation may be somewhat shortsighted. However. at this point in my career, I have no other frame of reference. What can I do to begin to educate myself on all things union, contracts, etc? I'd like to be able to carry on an intelligent conversation... [/QUOTE]
