Membership dues

Sat, 09/23/2023 - 7:46am

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

A reminder that the monthly dues rate for members of Teamsters Local 127 is 2.25% of the hourly wage. Dues increases should be implemented the month following any increase in an employee/member's hourly rate of pay.

Plain and simple, as your pay increases, so will your dues.

I would also like to mention that members that are in arrears with their dues will see that being deducted from their pay as an initiation fee. And with the next two raises of 4% each you will see the dues increase.

In solidarity.

Contract Update

Tue, 03/08/2022 - 9:04pm
 
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
As you know, the contract was ratified and signed Jan,14.2022 with retroactive pay and the clock is still ticking.  I stated to all you members that your monies would be here by March at the latest, including $2000 Covid pay .
 
Teamsters fought long and hard and were lied to by Head Negotiator Olinda Marshall and the rest of the DOT team. She stated, and I quote, our contract and the Covid 19 pay did not need legislation approval.  Well, it most 
certainly did.  We are doing our best to help facilitate payments to all members.  Thank you for your patience .
 
In solidarity,
 
Brother George
