Basic Dues Structure for Inside/Residential

Deferred Dues Account

How the 7% Dues Deduction Works
The contractor deducts Seven percent from each individual’s gross pay.

The seven percent is divided into three parts:

1. Working Dues: (By-Laws, Article X, Section 8), which is either 1.50% or 1.25%.
This money is used to operate the Local Union. The Local Union receives this money monthly.

2. Per Capita Dues: 1.50% or 1.75% is kept in an account in each individual’s name.
In January of each year, if a member of Local Union 332 has signed the dues deduction card, the union office takes International and Local Union Per Capita Dues out of this account in increments of $26.00 per month and prints an official dues receipt for one to twelve months, depending on how much money is in the member’s account. Please remember that this money is for per capita dues for the coming year. The remainder of the money in the per capita dues account (less authorized Cope deductions and Building Trades Assessment (BTA = .06 cents per hour]) is mailed to the individual on or about February 15th each year.

3. Additional Dues: is 3% of the 7%
Traveling brothers and non-members receive all their money less Working Dues, BTA, and Additional Dues and/or authorized Cope deductions.

• Example: Based on $70,000.00 gross wages (based on 1674 Hours worked)
  
  $ 4,900.00 = 7% dues deduction
  $ (875.00) = Working Dues @ 1.25%
  
  Balance $ 4,025.00 = Per Capita dues account (1.50% or 1.75%)
  $ (312.00) =12 months per capita @ $26.00 (LU. 332 only)
  
  Balance $ 3,713.40 =
  $ (100.44) = BTA (.06 cents per hour)
