Dear Brothers and Sisters of the IBEW:
The International Office has reooived several suggestions from our membership
for some changes in our stock of "IBEW merchandise" (both additions and deletiOns).
[ hope our members will continue to enjoy this service. International President Barry
and I are proud to present this new catalog showing our present line of merchandise
bearing our logo and/or IBEW initials.
We think you will like it. Whether buying for yourself, or gifts for your family
and friends, the catalog references the old favorites, together with some nice new
items that provide an opportunity to display your pride in our great organization.
While prices are always subject to change, you will find the "current" price list in
the back of the catalog. I would further note, this merchandise is not a profit·making
proposition for the IBEW; each item is priced to cover our cost plus handling, shipping
and publicity expenses. The purpose is to avail the membership of such
union·made apparel and novelties at reasonable prices. Happy sh'OPIJin;!i.!
My very best wishes to each and every one.

Notice of tSEW Agency Fee Payers Obiection
P a n For 1993
Employees who pay agency fecs to
IBEW local unions pursuant to
col [cclive bargaini ng agreel11cllIs III
the United States, but who arenotmember~
of the IBEW. may object to supporting
certain aCliviLic:.-t afthe International
and it' local unions. and may
obtain a reduclion inlheir agency fees.
under the terms of the I B EW Agcncy
Fee Paye" Objection Plan and 'imilar
plans maintai ned by IBEW local unions.
Agency fee payers arc employees covered
by u nion~,I,ecUJity agreements who
meet their financial obligalion~ 10 [he
union by paying all dues. fees, and
..""ssments unifomlly required of member~.
but who c iccI not 10 become mcm ~
bers of the union.
By clecting not to bccome full-nedged
IBEW members. fcc payers forfcillhe
righl 10 cnjoy a number of benefits
available t members on ly. Among the
benefi ts avai lable only to full union
members are Ihe right 10 allend and
parucipate in union meetings: the right
to run for union office. and to nominate
and vote for candid'J{cs for union
office; the right to part icipate on con·
traci ralification and sirike vOle: the
rigll1 t participme in Ihe deve lopmenl
and fo riliulation of IB EW polic ies; the
righl 10 parlicipute in the form ulation
of IIlEW collective bargaining demand.;
and the righl 10 serve as
delegates to the LBEW Il1lcrn!ltional
Convention.
The procedure for obtain ing a fcc
reduction is as fo llows. The objection
plan runs on a calendnr year basis. and
objections must be filed annually. Fcc
payer, who wish to file objections for
c:t lendar year 1993, lIIu,t do so during
Ihe mon lh of Novcm ber. 1992. Please
note thaI the Nuvember tl l)c~ i (l d
is a chan e from reviouL.,Y.ears.
Objections hould be addrc .. ed to lhe
IBEW International Secrelary. 1125-
151h Street. . W .. Wash ington. D.C.
20005. and to be timely. must be postmarked
during the November open period.
0 special form b required to
register "11 objection. However. ~
include your full name. your nlili ling
address. the 10 al union to which you
pay fees. your nonmembcr idcntilicalion
number (if known), and your Social
Securilv number. In oddiljon if
you move during the vear. please advise
the Interna tional Secretary of your
new address.
Each rce payer who Jiles a timely
objecti n wi th thc International Secrelary
will beemitled 10 reductions under
!l2!h Ihe International and local union
objection plans. During Janunry 1993.
the fnten"lIional and local unions will
mail separmc reduclion chcck~ to each
objector. along wi th detailed explanations
of Ihe expen ditllTe~ on which the
fee reductions are based.
The reducti on s are based on thc
percenHlgc or lhe unions' ex penditures
!luring the previous fiscal yeur that were
devmod 10 "nonchargeable" acriviriesthat
bo. aClivilies which objccto~ may
decline to suppon. For example. the
International determined that 15.9
percent orits expenditures forthe 199 1
liscal year were for "non hargeable"
activities. T he locals' "nonchargeable"
portions vary. with local unions devoting
between 5 percent and I 0 percent
of their annua l c;\pcndi tures to
"nonchargeable" aClivitie . tn no year
hilS any IBEW local union spent a
greater pereentage of its expenditures
on "nonchargeable" activitie than the
International did. although some of the
locals use the Intemalional's percentage
to ca lculate their own annu:tr
reduclioll.
Under the plan. objectors are charged
on ly for activities which are reaso n ~
ably related 1.0 cofleelive bargaining.
or to preserving the in IilUliollul
.tutu. of the organization. To understand
the difference betWEen "chargeable"
and "nonchargeable" expenditures,
the following illustrations may
be helpful.
Among expenditures "chargeable" t
objeclors arc those Illude for Iht:: negotiation
. enforcement and administmtioll
of collective bargaining agreement
: meetings wilh employer and
union rep~cntative l) and with employees
on employment-rc](ucd i~sucs; proceedings
on behalf of workers under
Ihe grievance proced ure. including arbitration:
and i nlem~'II union tldm inistralion
and management.
Among ex pendi tures cOn!olide red
"nonchargeable." which objectors arc
nor required to support. are rhose made
for political purposes. for genoml community
ervice, for legislative activities.
and for certain costs of afli1ialion
wirh non· IB EW organizations.
