Am I in the union?

Once you start paying you are past the probation period

False. You start paying your initiation right away, or at least in my local we do. I had paid off my initiation fee BEFORE I passed my probationary period.

Not necessarily.

I guess so. I filled out my union card at my orientation and started paying right away.

Nothing to do with UPS.

Different locals, different rules.

And you are in a RTW state.
I think the Union and the company count on the ignorance of kids to dupe them into joining the union.
No way an 18 year old working for $10/hr and no benefits should have to pay anything to the Union until one year.

Arriving late,missing one day.Apparently I'll be fired if I miss one more day, so is the threat real or just intimidation?

Best response when PT Sups attempt to intimidate is laughter. Also consider adding rolling of the eyes.

You our not in the union.

That's ridiculous.

Made it. Sup tried to take my id and discipline without steward present. Sup said I was being a "tough guy" by requesting my union representation. I received a verbal warning and I stopped coming in late.On second thought I should've gave my id to him, I have another one.

I'll be reacting to most "intimidation" talk like this from here on now
