RTW should be called "Right to work as a scab".

To be fair, I have never questioned the level of representation that I have received. What I have said is that the union is not the end all, be all and that unions promote mediocrity.

And that same union is the reason you were hired, paid, insured, and will receive a pension when you leave. Looks like quite a bit if not all to me.

I tried that, but he still can't get it through his thick skull.

The measure of a man is whether he is a union member or not? Give me a break!

Size doesnt matter?

Unfortunately, you are forced into the union in NY.

No, you're not, Walmart isn't unionized. Feel free to go work there, you can negotiate the terms of your employment when you apply.

Who cares about the union dues every month, i mean cmon. I cant help but laugh at the fact drivers who are or will be making 70-90k or more a year, piss and moan about a few hundred dollars a year.....

 

[cobra77]

when you do get hire how long to you are in the union?

 

[you aint even know it]

I found out NY is forced unionism.

oh man.

Not "forced unionism", you are paying for a service. If you don't like it, please go work in a non-union job. If you don't have the decency to pay $20 a month, then I don't want my dues supporting you. Hope you don't make it in my building, on my shift, because we would not get along.

It has come to the attention of Integrety, Oh sorry, ChickenLegs that some drivers are dishonestly and unsafely driving across the street...out of their way for lunch. Perhaps drivers should walk across the road instead of wasting gas. For you discussion.
Which begs the question...

Why did the Chicken cross the road?

Too help Dave safely cross.

Keep liking each other's posts. It really adds to the credibility.

Your dues are based on your hourly rate....not just a flat fee for everyone. Many of us pay much more than 20 a month.

Mine are $84/mo. But that gets me pension, medical and $8 to $10 dollars an hour more than if we were non-union. Well worth it. I did not mention representation for any discipline because we barely have that anymore.

I am new to UPS as a driver, and was wondering, about the union, is it required that I pay dues and join, or optional?

This has to be a ing troll.

UPS makes record profits off a workforce that is mediocre?

We wouldn't even have a pension without the union.
