I realize there is some corruption in unions, there is corruption in the government too.. the United Way even had some corruption awhile back, one of the guys embezeled
alot of money(I was giving weekly, out of my check, at the time). Look at the CEOs and the big companies at the present time. To me it all comes down to the fact that if the companies paid the workers fairly then there wouldn't be a need for unions. I come from a family of union workers(goes back a ways) and I've seen the good and the bad. I do appreciate that I get good benefits and "an honest days pay for an honest days work". We could discuss this matter further but that is not what I'm trying to do here
. I appreciate your views, I honestly do(I also understand them).
4cyl_Of_Fury, I started part-time as well. I was going to college and that helps getting your foot in the door as the company hires mostly college kids to work part-time. There were 7 of us that got picked out of a 3 page list for a 2nd interview. 3 of us got hired for peak season(Christmas) and only two of us got called back. Only one of us made the cut, luckily it was me. I suggest you dress nice and explain that you can and are usted to doing hard work(because that is what it is). My first week at UPS was like my first week at football practice every August. I've seen guys start that didn't finish the first day, I saw one guy puke his first/last day. Its hard work. It will however keep you in good shape
. Good luck with the interview. Oh yeah, it may help if you know one of the local drivers.
