Linden Becker HCU Board Election ResultsClassified Staff, It is my pleasure to announce the results of our last Hillsboro Classified United 4671 Executive Board elections for 2009-2011. Ê
We are hopeful that the next two years will continue to bring better communication between all of our members. This is not a time to sit on the sidelines waiting for a small group to make the decisions for our body. Our union needs all members to create a strong unified body, working toward continuity and commitment, keeping integrity and coming along side one another for support in these difficult economic times.

Changes to the Dues StructureDear Member and Fair Share Payer: Over the last couple of months the HCU executive council has been working to inform our members about restructuring our dues. At our membership meeting on February 21, 2008, members voted overwhelmingly to adopt a new dues structure. This new dues structure is 0.5% of your gross monthly straight time pay plus affiliation fees (per caps) necessary for the local union to remain in good standing with your state and national union. Dues are NOT charged on overtime and non-contracted hours. This new dues structure is much easier to administer than the old one and provides for adequate revenue for our local union to remain financially solvent. It is vital right now that our local union is well funded so we can take on many crucial campaigns, including contract negotiations, subcontracting, affordable healthcare, and other issues of great importance to you. This new dues structure goes into effect beginning April, 2008. The table below reflects the member dues rates. We thank you for your support and invite you to contact us with any questions or concerns. Together with you, HCU Executive Council
Fairshare rates are currently 72.69% of membership dues but are subject to change pending the outcome of our independent annual local union audit.
