Hi everyone!
I wanted to pass along two letters I have received concerning the reductions to Union dues during this furlough period. At the June 2009 CSUEU Board of Directors Meeting, the Board voted unanimously to cut member dues by a corresponding percentage if furloughs are bargained and ratified by the membership. The board felt it was important to show solidarity with all represented members should furloughs become a reality. This was supposed to take effect with the August 2009 paycheck, which many of you have received and may have noticed no reduction in dues.
I have attached both letters that I received last week concerning the issue. If you did not see the appropriate reduction in your paychecks this week, the necessary processing as not completed in time for this month. Your dues reduction will appear on your next warrant and the amount which should have been taken out this week will be restored to next month’s check. If you have any questions, whether you are a full or fee-paying members, please contact the CSEA Membership Department at 866.763.1452 ext 300 or contact me directly.
Letters:
In Union,
Joseph Dobzynski, Jr.
