Union Dues

[BlackCoffee]

What is the most amount of money one has to pay annually for union dues. When do you top out?

 

[hondo]

You pay dues on a monthly basis. The IBT constitution has a minimum dues rate of 2.5x your hourly wage (if over $11/hr). Your Local Union's bylaws can raise it from there, or add monthly assessments (as mine has).

You would 'top out' when you get to the top rate of a full time position.

Are you asking for an actual $ amount?

Are you asking for an actual $ amount?

Yes.

Are you asking for an actual $ amount?

I guess?

 

[hondo]

I guess?

Well for example in my Local, it would be (as of 8-1-15):

$34.775 ("tractor driver" rate) X 2.5 (the multiplier my Local uses) + $8 (PT assessment is $4) = $94.9375, which I believe gets rounded to $95/month.

$95 X 12 = $1140 from 8-1-15 to 7-31-16

The top rate for FT drivers varies slightly between the supplements/riders, and the multiplier rate could be higher in your Local.
