Dues Explanation

Union Dues Explanation

Union dues are paid by each member of the bargaining unit in order to pay for expenses related to administering the collective bargaining agreement. Monthly membership dues are two and five hundredths of a percent (2.05%) of gross strait-time monthly pay. This money allows HCU to do the following:

• Pay for subs so members can have representation when meeting with management. 

• Allow the bargaining team to attend bargaining meetings. 

• Have an office that officers and members meet at to discuss issues in private. 

• Pay for an auditor to make sure that union dues are being used properly. 

•  Allow an officer to take full time release to attend meetings and work on member issues. 

• Pay for an HCU website to allow members to stay up to date. 

• Send members to trainings to help them be better work site leaders.
