Dues

The amount of dues payable each month to the local union is decided by the local union members. Some locals have established in their bylaws a pre-scribed amount for dues with a percentage forwarded to the International consistent with the Constitution. The remaining monies stay in the local union treasury and are under the control of its members.

Strict accounting of funds is required and expenditures are subject to approval of the members. A full financial report is made available at each meeting and certified audits are performed quarterly.

Many locals have their own special "distress funds" for the purpose of helping members in cases of sickness, family deaths or other worthy needs.

DOESN'T COST - IT PAYS!

Example: If you make $10/hr and the Union craft makes $I5/hr the $5 difference times 40 hours a week equals $200 weekly, which is $10,400 annually. THOSE ARE YOUR NON-UNION DUES!!!
