How to Properly Leave Union?

[Poop Head]

a couple dollars a month will be well worth that $2500 tuition reimbursement check.

Lmao. I can see it now. Couple weeks before the end of semester, ups cans your bitch ass for no reason what-so-ever. Have fun paying back your student loans, twerp

I'm a part time worker, and was involuntarily inducted into the union. Being a union member is not practical in my situation. I am wonder who the proper people to contact are in order to get the ball rolling on my departure from the union. I've already wrote the secretary-treasurer of my union local, but have not heard anything (unsurprisingly). Is human resources able to get me in contact with who/whatever does the payroll, or does anyone know how to change payroll deductions?

It's a short process really:

Step 1) Find bag of dicks
Step 2) Eat bag of dicks

Good luck.

It's not a union job unless you choose to be in the union, and make it a union job.... Its just a part-time job to some people

It is a union job when the law requires that non-members get all the rights and benefits of the union contract

while you may be saving $10-20 consider what you are getting is what the union bargained for. you may not care about the union but think of other people in this. i donate to charities because i care about others. think of this the same way.

youre not hurting anyone by not paying dues but if you're already gonna be charged the fee cut out soda at restaurants and your union due will be paid for.

Advice..Do yourself a favor and avoid all the scrutiny. Don't burn the bridge with the union. You never know when you might need them..Stay in the union. You don't have to be happy about it. I know guys that have got out for one reason or another in RTW state and they regretted it.. Suck it up, buttercup!

Legally you cant be forced to be in a union in ANY state... However, because PA is not a right to work state, i would still be required to pay whats called an 'administrative fee' for my representation in collective bargaining and processing of complaints. this fee is less than the union dues..... scab

You also lose voting privileges if I recall.

how exactly were you "involuntarily" inducted in to the union? I dont understand that part of your post

Not only are you a scab but you are a bigger POS than I originally gave you credit for. That tuition check that was granted thanks to the sweat of the unionized workers you think you won't be getting any benefits from. Just another POS punk. FU

The Union has nothing to do with tuition reimbursement.

Stop lying.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Your a freeloader. No wonder you don’t want to pay dues. Probably skip out after your pals buy the fist round at the bar too.

Better than being a Company Mouthpiece masquerading as a Teamster.

This is a union forum so removal of your union status will force me to ban you from this site. Reply stating this is your final answer so I can proceed.

Ups is a closed shop if it’s not a RTW state and are required to pay union dues. You can opt out of the union but you still pay dues, maybe a 1-3 dollar discount.

Call it the SCAB discount.

Quit working. Problem solved.

For some reason I cant get this really nice lady to make my coffe right at McDonalds at 4am. Maybe you can work there and get it right you seem pretty educated. Dont forget cream and suger!

Yes much better.

you’re an idiot.. if someone works there for 3-4 months as a seasonal team member why should they have to pay dues to something they never needed in the first place? If you are not in a right to work state you can opt out by sending the union a written notice stating you do n out believe in unions, or support their political contributions, etc…. Most of these unions support idiots like Biden in mega packs… -from someone who worked at ups and was able to avoid the union..

ps.. they will tell you you can’t opt out but so some research there are outlines ready to go that you can download through a simple
Google search just search opt out of teamsters # 000 or whatever number it is I forget… then you mail them that notice and if you get charged dispute it they will send you a check for what they stole. Also management does not have to be union… you are welcome.. everyone else in here are a bunch of troll dheads who think just because they have to pay everyone should… clowns

I’m not banning you for being a freeloading scab, but you did call the other union posters here dheads and clowns.

So that’s why I’m banning you.

It's not about the money, it's about your attitude. You don't want a union job, don't apply/take a union job in the first place.

Also...Don't call someone willing to pay and participate in the union a scab. You are the scab, one who obviously doesn't know what a scab is.

I'm really trying to understand, I'm supposed to support a union that argues I should make $15.5/hr and people who are new hires should make $19/hr. I work part time at 16.xx working part time, but if I start driver helping I'll get cut to 15.5/hr while outside helpers get 19/hr. I've been at ups for years but the union very clearly only give a about full timers. Thats where they get their money so it makes complete sense. Don't expect me to pay into something that doesn't care about me.

Apologies for the double post but the expectation is I'll pay hundreds into the union that thinks new hires should make 30% more than a multi year ups employee. Sure maybe you'll argue but they don't have to pay for the seasonal employees insurance, I'm already at ups, already working 6 days a week. They are paying my insurance regardless if I work an extra 3 or 4 hours. I'm cheaper, more experienced, literally load the truck I go help on, but obviously that means I should make 30% less than people not paying into the union. Tell me you'd be happy as a full time driver at top rate, you'd be happy if a seasonal driver made 30% more than you.

Maybe the union is discovering that giving people Walmart wages and no benefits for 9 months makes people less than enthusiastic about joining the union.
