[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 456910, member: 9310"] That's not dues. Too high. It's initiation. Dues aren't "negotiated" -- they're set by the local, usually by membership vote initiated by the BA, and usually at some multiple of your hourly wage, rounded. In Local 278 monthly dues are 2x for $11/hr or less; otherwise 3x (as of 9/08). Initiation fee was $250 for pt employees or if wage rate less than $10/hr, otherwise $500 for ft employeees (as of 4/2003, probably higher now -- dues multiples have gone up since then). And the calculations are no burden on UPS' accounting department -- they just take out whatever dollar amount is in the file the local sends them. [/QUOTE]
