Your like the fat chick at the bar who gave her number out Saturday night. Unless the other party is completely desperate, your phone won't be ringing.

They just take out of paycheck, think that is part why so much turnover, because the checks are not a whole lot. If you can make it past the initiation fees, you'll be alright. Ours is $100, some, I've seen are up to $500. These are taken out in installments.

Our initiation fees are 438.00.
I get how that works but I'm confused. ..
When do I have to start paying union dues?
When am I covered by the Contract?
Am I charged Union Dues before I start actually working?

Just show up for work be a beast and put the packages in the right place in the right truck. If you can do this they will keep you and everything else you don’t have to worry about. You will get in the union when you get in.

If it's been that long and you're ready to start, just walk up in there dressed for the part and tell them you're ready.

I would show up at the start of the shift and just start working out in the parking lot till everyone is done.Rent a uhaul and get some boxes and just start loading and unloading.I think this will let them know how serious you are

You get paid as soon as you start working.
But, there is a minimum 30 day "trial" period. You still have to qualify.
If they haven't brought you on yet, my guess is seasonal or vacation replacement.
Meaning.... you can't gain seniority during May, June, July, or August.
You'll find out when you start working.

Not in my local, 30 calendar days after you sign on. I have had this discussion with the recording secretary about this very subject about jumpers during peak.

Acquisition of Seniority
After forty days of work within a seventy consecutive work day period, (excluding orientation) a new employee will acquire seniority and the employee shall be given a seniority date as of his/her first day of employment (orientation) worked within such 70 consecutive work day period. If, however, the employee does not complete the 40 days within these 70 days his/her seniority date will be the first day of the 40 worked within any subsequent seventy (70) workday period. Time spent in the Company orientation program will not count toward the acquisition of seniority.
this was taken from my local supplement where its now 40 days and not 30 to "make book". after the 30 or 40 days (depending on what local your hired in) are worked you will then see a deduction in that weeks paycheck for union initiation fees. im not sure how much that is these days. im thinking a couple hundred bucks spread over 3 or 4 paychecks. after that union dues are then deducted monthly and calculated at approximately 2 and 1/2 times your hourly rate. like $10 an hour would equate to $25 a month. the thing to remember is that your seniority date will kick back to the very first day of paid orientation.
