Are you protected by the union even if you haven't paid the full initiation fee?

[Brownie24]

I passed probation last month and I was wondering if the union starts representing you right way after you pass even though you haven't fully paid off the initiation or until after it's paid in full....?
Our local fee is $600 :/ only $400 in.
Thanks to those who reply!

Yes.

$600 is outrageous.

Hard to imagine why people support RTW with initiation fees like that. Unreal.

$100 for part timers and $200 for full-timers here

I can understand that. But $600? That's just screwing someone because you can.
