[QUOTE="abc123, post: 773841, member: 20245"] I just found a letter that I got from the Teamsters when I joined. I didn't throughly read it(oops) so I missed this: "The [B]monthly[/B] union dues are 2.5 times your hourly rate, rounded up or down to the nearest dollar, plus one dollar ($1.00) assessment for the death benefit." The first 3 weeks the $22, $21, and $20 were taken out in that order. Then it went down to either 5 or 6 dollars each week. So it appears that I am now paying the correct amount and I was paying more the first 3 weeks. I'm guessing those are back dues for the 3 months that I was working but wasn't in the union. If so, I'm okay with that, however it was really hitting me hard as it was being taken out along with the $25/week initiation fee. On another note, I also don't understand why part time and full time both pay 2.5x. I know part-timers make less but we also work less hours. However, it still isn't that much, so I don't really care, I just don't understand it. [/QUOTE]
