[Brownslave688]

I don't personally know any yes voters.....

 

[ManInBrown]

Not here. Half goes to fund pension

 

[Orion inc.]

401k. All the way.

 

[Wally]

So, Union Dues are going up, again...

 

[upschuck]

I upping 401k 1% and the rest in my pocket.

 

[upschuck]

The 80 cent raise split in two costs the company less than a full 70 cent raise

All these split raises do is to annoy me twice a year.

So would you prefer a wage cut so your dues go down?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Some of mine does too. Can't remember how much. 15 or 20 cents.

No, but pehaps a freeze would be nice?

 

[Inthegame]

You get a raise so those fees go up based on raise.


So you are wrong.

You're kidding right. A $.70 raise gets a FT at least $112 increase a month. Your dues might go up $2.00.

Your local union has increased obligations every year. Dues are the best money you spend every month.

So, there is zero that can be cut?

Yes I'm kidding

Depends on the local. Lets say your local has 10 agents, and they match the UPS benny package. On August 1, your local needs to come up with an additional $40 per week per agent. That's $40 X 52 X 10 = $20,800. If they also match the raise of .70 @ 40 hrs we have .70 x 40 x 52 x 10= $14,560. That's $35,000 more than they spent last year. Along with those 10 agents they also have clerical staff, replicating these numbers. Plus utility bills, repairs, building maintenance, purchasing contracts, etc.
It adds up.

My raise goes into toilet paper. It gets expensive wiping with $100's. Especially the real messy ones.

So you are wrong.

Interesting that my fee's went up before I ever got a raise.

 

[Brownslave688]

Probably a bull fee for having to deal with you as a member.
