DUES

What Dues and What For?

National dues pay for all the operating expenses of the Union. This includes contract negotiatios, grievance handling above the local level, and the cost associated with national level arbitration. Members' dues also cover the cost of publications, professional fees, legislative activities, education and training and community service programs.

Dues are very reasonable, and can vary from local to local. Your shop steward or local officer can tell you the amount that will automatically be deducted from your paycheck once yor fill out a Form 1187 - Authorization for Dues Deduction.
