UNION DUES Every member pays a small portion of their wages to the IBEW. Union dues make it possible for Local 37 to pay for the valuable services it provides to all members including: • • • Contract negotiations Grievance support Arbitration • • • Training and education for members Education and awareness Organizing campaigns Think of union dues as an investment. Members contribute a small percentage of their earnings to a fund, much like you do with insurance premiums. When you need assistance, the resources you need will be there. Local 37's monthly dues are approved by members and are calculated using the following formula for both "A" and "BA" memberships: 1.3 x your hourly pay rate + $22 (International Dues) For example, if you earn $20 per hour, your dues would be calculated as: 1.3 x $20 = $26 + $22 = $48/month or $22.15 bi-weekly "A" members also pay an additional $21 monthly premium to the IBEW Pension Fund. Dues can be claimed as tax credit, reducing the amount of income tax you pay! All of the dues money paid by Canadian members stays in Canada, and the vast majority stays with the local union – ensuring members get the greatest benefit possible. – 31 –
