Union Dues Match Pay Increase
Share This
The CUPW National Constitution sets the basic dues rate for Urban Operations workers at 300% of the maximum hourly rate for the lowest classification within the bargaining unit. RSMC dues have been set at 1.71% of the wage portion received by each member, to a maximum equal to the dues for Urban Operation members.
Some Locals have bylaws for a local assessment over and above the monthly basic dues.
With the current collective agreements, there is a 2.9% wage increase for the RSMC and Urban Operations bargaining units.
The new monthly deduction for union dues for members of the Urban Operations bargaining unit on February 1, 2021 is $87.09.
For members of the RSMC and Urban Operations, the new monthly deduction for union dues will be collected on pay period 3 (January 24 to February 6, 2021).
Attached is a chart showing the 2021 basic dues rates as well as the exceptions for those Locals with local assessments.
I trust this information will assist in answering members’ questions about the monthly union dues deduction, which members will observe on their pay statements.
Regular Union Dues Rate is $87.09 Following are the Exceptions |
