Changes to the Dues Structure

Dear 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

Lila Young, PresidentJoel Yoder, First Vice President
Julie Chalmers, Second Vice PresidentSue Miller, VP of Membership
Kathy Bren, VP of CommunicationsGloria Hemstrom, VP of COPE
Kammy Smith Davis, VP of Collective Bargaining
