Brothers:
At times I've had members ask me how and were does their union dues go each month. I will display an
example on this page to help you understand how your dues are distributed.
For example, you're a BLET Member of Division 209, Green Bay. Your monthly dues deduction are:
$143.00 for a BLET Engineer
The breakdown of the dues structure is as follows:
Dues Assignment For a WC BLET Engineer
National Division $34.00
National Division Convention Fund $ 2.00
National Legislative Board $ 2.00
CN/WC General Committee $65.00
State Legislative Board (Wisconsin) $12.00*
Division Dues $28.00**
*State Legislative Board rates may differ from state to state. In Illinois its $14.00, Michigan its $4.00.
**Division dues are set by your local Division. So a dues deduction rates varies from division to division.
Understand when it comes to tax filing; your union dues are deductible under I.R.S. "Schedule A-Itemized
Deductions."
Fraternally,
Eugene "Shy" Ziegler
General Secretary Treasurer
