I believe initiation fees are $150 now? Not 100% sure.

I don't believe that every Local charges the same, so perhaps the original poster can post his job title and city so that someone who knows can answer. I would call the Local or talk to my Business Agent to get the correct answer though.

 

[Nostromo]

I think for local 396 it's $200

I think it's like $550 here then you get $100 back if you attend a meeting and get sworn in.

I think everybody's local is different. When I started, they took it out in 2 installments, then after I was here a while, they suspended it all together for a while to encourage part timers to join. Not sure of the status these days, however.

Wow,...do FTers pay a higher initiation fee than PTers? It just dawned on me that they probably do....

Here, currently FT=$100, PT=$50.
These rates will double in a few years (I believe 2016) when the IBT approves the bylaws changes voted up in March.
If you start PT, you don't pay any additional if/when you make FT.

Ask your local stewards or even call the union hall and see what the initiation fee's cover.

I've never been able to get an answer here.

It was 340 when I got hired. The new hires in my sort are all paying 400 now. It went up.
