I am in the union. I started in December of last year. Every new hire has been told anyone starting while this contract is in limbo pretty much, needs to keep track of their backpay. I am not sure if maybe there is some difference with states maybe and contract or what? But, all new hires have been told this at Worldport. I am in Ky.
What do you need to know? I choose not to read these 14 pages, but will give you the correct answer, if I know what you want to know.
Someone had asked if they would get backpay if they were not in the union. Someone else said no. That's not what we were told. Ty
They will get backpay.
I love my job and have awesome co- workers and supervisors. We all respect each other. It's more like helping family than a job to me. I'm not here to bash UPS. They have cared about me and my safety. I have gotten hurt on the job, and was sent to PT and their Dr's at their expense from my not having a firm enough grip on something. Hence my pic the wristband. It was just a sprain but they sent me to PT to strengthen the wrist more. I personally have no complaints about my location. I'm not trying to argue Idk about other locations. Sad to hear.
Ty, for clearing that up. I just wanted to make sure the correct info was out. We don't need to lose folks who think they were lied too.
You going to drive a truck through a picket line next to help the scabs who aren't in the union ?That is if they are still employed when the contract finally passes.
No one should really be forced into the union. It's their choice. Some are barely getting by with families to feed, as it is now and can't afford the dues I'm sure. This raise may give the union more members. It is another way to look at it. When newbies see how beneficial they really are to them.
What I have the problem with there, is that they get the benefits of being in one, without having to pay for it. If they could reduce the total compensation and representation to what non union people get, then fine.
I do see your point there.
Wait....there are new hires getting benefits and not paying union dues?
I agree it is something that needs to be worked out better. It's not very fair to those of us who are paying our dues. Maybe this is some kind of recruiting technique to join? Kinda, what I had thought to get more members in the union. Idk? If so, gotta admit it's smart on their end. Buttttttt, shouldn't services be free for all? From start to end all of this contract. That then would then be fair to all involved.
Then if they opt out of a union, they wont get benefits and union wont protect them. Plain and simple
