So called "right to work"

[FrigidFTSup]

How many part timers in rtw states bail out of paying dues? Just wondering.
There's very little cohesion with part timers here because they're getting no vacations and healthcare for a year plus their initial hourly pay is nothing to write home about.

One of my center manager's buildings is in a RTW. Told me they have 0/8 Local Sorters who are Union and 3/14 on Preload. The preloaders are all career PTers.

Makes sense to me.

Career. That is the difference.
Most pt timers aren't staying that long in percentages to be career part timers.
We had a 47-50% turnover rate last year...again.

So let me clarify your statement...
0 out of 8 LS and 3 out of 14 PL are union members?

It was a pretty smart law when you think about it. It even has union members fooled. They name it "Right to Work". Slide it right passed ya, while you are worried a out other things. If you can't see what RTW is and was you will never get it.

In other words get the damn hook out of your mouth. This law was created to weaken unions. Prevailing wage cuts is right behind it.

The way we keep losing jobs to China and Mexico, what jobs are there to work at?

Has any RTW state unions adapted their way of doing things in order to compete?

All but one of our 20 preloaders are union employees.

Most of our preload are union. Last I checked half of the local sort. And just a small handful of freeloader drivers. I hear the hub is about the same comparatively. Our local is also considered one of the best in the region. So they claim.

Have to take a pay cut.

 

[bestupsguy]

Keep the union in my vote

I work in nevada...a lot of new hires who know about RTW in Nevada don't want yo pay union dues when they are technically already in the union. Why would new hires want to pay for something they can get for free? If you get in trouble such as a DUI and you don't pay union dues they won't help you.

Right now Trump claims to be very supportive of unions to make himself appear to support labor but yet he also supports RTW as a secret way to destroy unions

"I like those union thugs"..lol

UPS would go to complete crap and be overcome by FedEx within five years if there was no longer a union.

If this was true they wouldn't push us this hard... These guys are control freaks and have huge egos... They would be totally confident that they could run this company as efficient as is happening now with guys making 12 bucks an hour...you and I both know this could never happen but ups is arrogant enough to believe it... It's no secret, they know the relationship we have with the customers..they don't like it but appreciate it behind closed doors because it means profit... They would loose all that and more.

How do you know about the drivers... Do they tell everybody or is it common knowledge??? I think I would be embarrassed to be freeloading...hopefully nobody is bragging about it

Wisconsin has just recently joined the RTW club and my local will not be affected until after the next contracts are ratified. They do plan on listing those employees who choose not to pay dues for all to see.

Can they legally do that?

Our steward knows who all's in and isn't. Plus, in these small centers everyone seems to know everyone else's business.

Pertinent.... Union business.

We have a Union bulletin board in our center. My question was whether it would be legal for the Union to post a list of free loaders for all to see.
