Working Dues
Working Dues are deducted by the employer out of your paycheck. The working dues are what fund
the union hall. They pay the bills and help provide each member fair representation. With out this
small percentage we could never help others that need a voice in the work place. The union hall
does more than just protect wages and benefits, it provides a community, a support group, and place
that brings the working man and woman together for the good of many.
