Union Dues...A Members Responsibility

Union dues are those funds provided by union members to financially support the goals of their organization. In the IBEW, union dues are divided into two parts: The international portion of dues goes to support the representational, research, legal, administrative, and legislative goals of the organization's members  on a national level. The local union portion of dues goes to support the goals of the local union's members at the local union level and includes expenses such as handling grieviences, arbitrations, contract negotiation, organizing activities, rents, etc.
