I'm not in a right-to-work state and have been employed for a couple months. our steward only recently wanted me to sign paperwork. That was only a few days ago and my current pay stub shows no dues or init fees. Is there a problem or are we just not supposed to pay dues during "probation period"? I honestly don't know how the Union is to be joined I just signed my paperwork on the day of hire. But I also heard we can be let go for not joining within a certain period of time. I'm not happy with paying dues, but it's not worth losing my job.
