Raises

I have discovered several instances where the system we are measured bye is unable to count or properly identify our true performance on road.I have taken the proper steps to bring this to the attention of management and upper management and had these concerns dismissed.I feel that as the review score ultimately determines our raises that this maybe seen as a type of fraud.What do you think and would this be allowed to continue under a union?

Yes, we understand that the system has problems. No matter what system you chose it will be part of a collective agreement whether it be a system like Purolator, UPS, or a system that deals with a score formula similar to FedEx.

As it will be in a collective agreement you will know what your raises will be without any arbitrary review bias.

The Real Story about union dues

  1. The Canada Labour Code says that $5 is required for the sign-up process.
  2. There are no initiation fees when you join Teamsters Canada.
  3. You start paying union dues only when you obtain your first collective agreement.
