UTU Local 161 Membership Dues

 

Gray Line of Seattle management has again decided to stop the automatic payroll dues deductions for members of UTU Local 161.  With 24 hours advance warning, Gray Line management advised one day before the end of the January 22, 2004 payroll cut off that they would no longer deduct dues as had been the mutual agreement in our current contract.  No dues were deducted from full-time members’ last paycheck.   Therefore members will again pay their monthly dues directly to UTU Local 161 to maintain good standing. 

 

For full time members, only ˝, or $16.75 of the February dues has been deducted from payroll and sent to UTU Local 161. So, $16.75 is needed to complete February’s dues and $33.50 for March or $50.25, which is due by the end of February.   Monthly dues for the next month will be due by the last day of the current month.  This means that April dues are due by the last of March, May’s by the end of April, and so on.  Dues shall be remitted to the Secretary-Treasurer of Local 161 in the form of bank check or money order, payable to “UTU Local 161.”

As is always the case, dues are to be submitted in advance for a given month.   In the short term as this procedure develops dues may be hand delivered to a Union Officer whose name appears on the UTU Bulletin Board in the drivers’ room.

As was the case three years ago, members will demonstrate that they can overcome this inconvenience and will keep their dues current to maintain their good standing in UTU Local 161. 

 

 

Fraternally,

 

 

Wayne Ingersoll

Secretary-Treasurer
