Local 25 Teamsters borderline criminal act?

[Thebrownblob]

Now that the Boston Bully won and has taken office. Can y'all finally admit that local 25 draining entire paychecks of seasonal employees making minimum wage was wrong?

Perhaps

Sure we admit it. Can we stop now?

No, cause the East Coast posters on here caused it

Preemptive 2 more months bump

Get rid of the initiation fee until someone gets hired. (Seniority date) The fee's too much for people making so little and it's a horror show for PR. Casual or seasonal temp's is an opportunity to show how beneficial the teamsters or organized labor is. We need to ditch the "seasonal teamster bonus fund" perception. That being said, double the initiation fee for PVD'S.

We did wave the initiation fee for part-timers in my local.

Looking back on this, UPS did this on purpose

I agree, UPS did nothing on purpose until they got caught by the local. That’s the beauty of this whole thing. Someone in management looked at this early on and realized doing nothing, in their mind, was the best thing to do. No one higher up was barking at them therefore they do nothing. Eventually someone barked at them, probably labor, and this was the unfortunate outcome.

People keep asking if the public will be on our side during a strike. Local 25 pulling this nonsense again will be a surefire way to keep the public off our side.

For the love of God. Do not pull this crap again.

Crazy to think that these initiation fees are apparently a thing in some locals. The union has to put at a stop to them at a national level ASAP.

Have the seasonal employees who had their entre paychecks drained been made whole? Has their been any accountability taken? Is there anything to prevent this from happening again in the future? If not, this topic is still worth discussing, even if it's not convenient for you.

We've had issues like this in my local. It's usually just a clerical error. I'm sure with such a large number of people affected by it that the local will work to fix the issue ASAP.

Yikes, this did not age well brah

I'm sorry but this thread is disgusting. Local 25s actions were nothing short of shameful. And a $500 initiation fee for a seasonal minimum wage job? C'mon! We have single mothers on the news crying because they received $14.51 for 41 hours! That's 35 cents a hour. 35 cents a hour. 35 cents a hour. 35 cents a hour. But that makes her a freeloader according to local 25? Give me a flipping break. Stop treating seasonal employees as ATMs. Start treating them as hard working Americans.

UPS sandbagged it so they can say "SEE THE UNION SUCKS"

 

[Brownnote]

It's a simple fix. Don't charge an initiation fee until you get a seniority date and IF a union dues withdrawal isn't processed on seasonals correctly, UPS pays.

Hoping local 25 really sticks it to the seasonal employees this year!!!

Major Props to local 25 for not making national news this year.

I disagree with seasonals paying initiation fees but I laugh at the thought of this being thought of as a criminal act.

Also union dues do not go towards the pension.

It's called fraud buddy. It was a criminal act. That's why it gave the Teamsters a major black eye. Remember the new hires are not the enemy. Management is the enemy.

That's because the Boston Bully aka is no longer in charge of that local.

To mine surprise, when I received my pay check today it stated $0. At first I thought it was a mistake, but then other employees started expressing similar concerns saying either the majority or the entirety of their paycheck had been drained, even their attendance bonuses. paycheck to paycheck.

Union up there really screwing over the little guy!

Why would anybody sign on?
