Dues are supposed to go to three main things, strike fund, benefits / insurance, and pension. The dues where I work are relatively cheap because the pension changed from a MEP to a SEP several contracts back, and we voted to use company insurance because it was cheaper at the time. Now it turns out we don't have a strike fund, so why in the nine hells are we paying dues in the first fucking place?
Maybe they shouldn't be allowed to collect dues.
