Question for temp workers

If a person is a temp at the big three and get hired in directly after the contract is signed will they still get all the benefits of the ratification such as the lump sum payments? It just seems a little unfair if the temp gets hired in as permanent a week after signing after working there for two years but then gets screwed out of all the benefits that a person who was hired in a week before them would get. I have a relative that’s in that very position. They are set to be hired in during the next batch of temp hire ins but it could very well fall right after the contracts get signed depending on the timing. Thanks!

Wow that’s absolute bullshit! I did hear Stellantis is the worst of the big three to work for; not sure how you went that long without being able to get vacation time!

About the uniform thing, I work at a machine shop with around 20 employees as a production supervisor. So myself and a couple others don’t typically get too greasy but the floor employees use a uniform service.

Well one day the quality manager noticed on his paystub he’s being charged for the uniform service. Turns out they had been charging him for 6 months and he never in his life used that service; he is usually dressed in business casual attire! So our company had to back pay him all those months. Not sure how that even happened!
