[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1117814, member: 17969"] This is correct. What I believe for future is the dues need to be CAPPED. 65 dollars for full time employees, and 25 dollars for part timers. WAAAAAAY back, when the 2.5 scale was created, the Teamsters needed REVENUE especially since CAREY drained the IBT with his reckless actions. Now, back then, we made less, and the 2.5 scale was not a bad rate, however, today, we will be near 93 dollars a month for full timers by the end of our current contract and even higher if a raise is secured for this next contract. Its time for the membership to start speaking out about the 2.5 scale and demand a CAP on dues. The IBT will just have to cut pay, cut benefits for their officers and survive on the capped dues. Each local will have to cut salaries, cut benefits and survive on the capped dues. No more 200K presidents and secretary treasurers. If we have to cut back, then THEY should have to cut back. A while back, While I was an officer, I watched as the IBT purchased a loaded cadillac for the guy who was spearheading the anti walmart campaign. That was a 40K car. That was useless and unnecessary. Cutting dues to a more reasonable rate should go right along with the Teamsters telling us that a BUCK is all they can ask for in this years negotiations.
