***DUES INCREASE***

Please be advised that there is a $2.00 per month increase in dues effective January 1, 2012. This increase was approved at the 35th General Convention this past August in Las Vegas. Also approved were $1.00 per month in-creases in dues effective January 1, 2013, January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015.

For employees who have elected to have their dues deducted from their paychecks this would amount to an in-crease of $0.50 per pay period (weekly). Employers have been notified.

Members who are paid ahead as of January 1, 2012 will have their dues credit adjusted to reflect the increase of the $2.00 per month.

Local 412 By-Laws changes have been passed to reflect the changes in the UA Constitution.

Due to our dues program inability to bill at two rates, members will be billed at the new dues in-crease rate of $2.00 per month for all months including any 2011 dues which may be owed. Even though the increase does not take effect until January 2012, any $2.00 extra paid for 2011 dues will be placed in credit to your account. We apologize for this inconvenience.
