The difference between union dues, fees, and initiation fees

[john chesney]

I live in California and that's what it is for us in my area

What the hell is going on. I seen in another thread some guy paying over 10 grand in property taxes in New Jersey. My god I paid 10 grand in federal taxes this year. This is insane

John Chesney likes talking to himself and referring to himself in 3rd person. He also would like to blame Ups for this however he knows that’s a stretch.Now I’m going to see if I can make my comment to myself the winner

Dues in my local are 2.5 times for those up to $15/hr, 3 times for those above $15. Initiation is $200 for up to $15/hr, 30 times the rate for those above $15.
(At one point initiation fees were 40 times above $11/hr.!!!)
The structure was changed a couple years ago so that $15 was the cutoff point instead of $11, for different dues and initiation rate.

Sounds like they hit you with initiation fees and back dues. Initiation fees were a one time payment and union dues should be around 2 1/2 your hourly rate once a month. Initiation fees were 150 last time I checked. Call the union hall and get a explanation 500 is outrageous.

epends on the local
