[QUOTE="grgrcr88, post: 1187333, member: 16611"] This is a good start, every local has to pay a per capita tax for every member to the IBT, this is where the most of your dues go. Some locals also have there own strike fund or are members of larger strike funds like for instance the Ohio Teamsters strike fund, which is a great deal for everyone involved. As was said, Local Unions must make their books public record and are audited many times a year. The IBT sends auditors randomly and law states we must have an independent accounting firm audit the books once a year. Depending on the size of the local that could run anywhere from 7k on up!! There is also taxes, insurance, benefits for the staff. Arbitration is very expensive as well. You must also remember that your local will have many other units other than UPS and are spending money on negotiations and grievance hearings for each and every unit!! It ain't cheap running a Union. If you really want to know where it all goes go to a meeting or two!! [/QUOTE]
