[QUOTE="705red, post: 474539, member: 5229"] As a union employee, you have more rights than a non union employee. A union employee usually can only be terminated for just cause, while a non union employee is a at will employee and can be let go for just about anything. As a union employee you would have a contract which spells out your rights as a union employee. It would spell out your vacations, sick time, medical benefits, pension, seniority, bidding rights, pay, pay raises etc. If you are to be discipline as a union employee you are protected by ensuring a steward is in the room during these meetings. Basically no more favoritism towards one employee, all are to be treated equal. What you need to do is ask yourself does this sound worth it? Do i want to spend money to pay dues monthly? I would ask you to calculate what you spend on your medical per month and compare it to what we pay monthly in dues. A driver at $28.90 pays $72 a month in dues. But that covers everything, $5 prescriptions, free medical, pension, vision, dental and representation from the teamsters if needed, and trust me its used a lot! Also remember who invited the teamsters in to ups! [/QUOTE]
