Can the facility be partially union and partially non-union?

The bargaining unit is made up of positions or job functions. If a position is part of the bargaining unit, then all of the employees in that position are included in the unit. 

Would my union dues increase if I receive a pay increase?

Yes, the more you make the higher the union dues you will pay to the Teamsters. The members pay a varying monthly rate based upon how much money they earn as an employee-usually two and half times the member’s monthly rate of pay. Thus, if you receive an annual increase or an hourly rate increase due to a higher-level position, the union will increase your union dues.

If we unionize and I decide not to pay union dues, will my position still be represented by the Teamsters?

If the Teamsters represent the warehouse employees at C32, you cannot opt out of the contract controlling your position or the terms and conditions of your employment. Once a union is voted in and a contract reached, that contract covers your position whether you like it or not.

What happens if I sign a union authorization card or petition?
