[QUOTE="hondo, post: 4214737, member: 8661"] @Bebo67cach : Short answer: call L705 @ 312-738-2800 and ask to speak to someone in the dues department, or contact them through the website([URL="https://teamsterslocal705.net/"]Teamsters Local 705[/URL]), or go down to the Union office in person (1645 W Jackson Blvd, 7th Floor). Long answer: [LIST] [*]After resigning from UPS Freight, you should have contacted Local 710 for a 'withdrawal card'; they're not sent out automatically. This notifies the union you're no longer working under their jurisdiction, and therefore will no longer owe them monthly dues. [*]At UPS small package/Local 705: all deductions for dues, fees, and assessments are lumped together as one amount, labeled 'UNIONDUE' [*]The normal L705 PT worker initiation fee is $100; however, since you already paid an initiation fee to L710 (& the IBT), you should be able to get it waived by the L705 Executive Board (you may have to write them a letter so they can approve the waiver during the monthly Executive Board meeting). [*]If I'm reading the new contract about your pay rate correctly, your monthly dues plus 'special assessment' (strike fund) is $39. [*]Buried somewhere in L705's Bylaws, everyone's dues get paid up several months (I think it's 3) in advance. [*]Deductions for dues, fees, assessment come out of the first 4 paychecks of the month. At your payrate, there is a maximum of $20/wk. they will deduct. So $39/mo. X 3 mo.=$117 + $100 init. fee=$217 balance you start paying down (and each new month adds $39 to the balance you've paid down). [*]My best guess about the transfer fee: somehow they think you were rehired at UPS Freight and are now under L705's jurisdiction as a City Driver (I assume you were a dock worker?)(Dock & Road Drivers are L710).
