[QUOTE="Mainerider, post: 4332308, member: 79412"] Correct. A subcontractor doesn’t pay a $300 union initiation fee and doesn’t pay regular union dues on top of the initiation fee. PVDs are Teamsters. I have my Teamsters packet. I am a union member just like you. Just like I was a union member for 20 years in the Newspaper Guild and our Local’s Treasurer for 4 of those years. And using your own vehicle doesn’t make you a de facto subcontractor; Our Sales Team was also union and we used our own vehicles and received the annual IRS-allowed reimbursement amount. I don’t understand how a few on here have such a hard time grasping the PVD position... a new position, by the way, that your union bargained over and signed off on... I sat on the bargaining committee for several of our contract rounds and I understand the process. Always a Quid pro Quo. When your leadership agreed to the PVD position they (you) got something back for it. Probably the $300 union initiation fee that goes straight into the union coffers, that will help with paying for future grievances, etc. [/QUOTE]
