How come we never discuss the price of our union dues? How much does the union spend, and where does the money go?
You might be right. Ours is 3 times the hourly wage. I haven't checked since the Feb 1st raise.wow stink! you must get a discount on your dues, i pay $97. just went up with the recent raise.
Dues in my local are 2.5 times your hourly rate rounded to the nearest dollar, if you make over $11.00/hour.
Top rate (for package car/feeder drivers) is $80/month. My current rate is $37/month and I'm happy to pay it.

If you actually attend your union meetings, your local's secretary treasurer is required to read the financial report and the trustees verify it. Every penny is accounted for - line by line.
Not to sound like a dooch but I'd be happy to keep the current contract if it means not giving up the bennies. If we get greedy well friend ourselves, with that said we still need to fight for cola. Pray for the best but expect the worst
I'm always expecting a strike
Keep some three months pay in cash tucked away
Don't worry about it and just pay it. They have negotiated a good life for you. Shut up and enjoy it.How come we never discuss the price of our union dues? How much does the union spend, and where does the money go?
The IBT Constitution guides the dues rates and Piedmont accurately stated the numbers, however Local Unions can increase the dues/assessments with membership approval for extraordinary expenses. In most cases, the IBT gets 22% of dues/initiation. Every cent of expenses and income is reported to the membership.Dues in my local are 2.5 times your hourly rate rounded to the nearest dollar, if you make over $11.00/hour.
