The Council asked if we could print the information in the Newsletter. The answer is yes. The answer has two parts. The short answer is that the income isn't as great as you might think, but the expenses are probably greater. The bottom line is that Agency Fee has spread the burden across more people and probably will allow us to keep our dues the lowest of any affiliated union at Boeing.
Expenses are up Our statement of work is bigger than it has ever been.
When we affiliated, we did not raise our dues to cover the per capita taxes. Instead we said that we'd let increasing membership cover the costs. Increased member support - With limited resources, we have been working without the support we desperately need. We currently have one Contract Administrator for every 4500 represented employees. We need help in both our communications and research areas as well.
