South Bay Labor Council.

Beginning July 1, 2010, the
Local Union Dues rate shall increase by $1.65
per month. Local Union Dues must be
adjusted each July based upon the annual percentage increase in the Consumer
Price Index published by the U.S. Department of Labor (received from the International ATU). Therefore, the minimum dues rate per month

the Local Union Dues shall increase by an additional $.10 in accordance with Article 4A of the California Conference
Board By-Laws

the Local Union Dues shall increase by an additional $.05 in accordance with the increased per capita rate for the South
Bay Labor Council.
The above-mentioned increases

Fund Assessments and Death Assessments; therefore, effective July 1, 2010,
the Local Union Dues will increase from $74.56 to $76.36 per month (a
total increase of $1.80).
Also, please note: Due to the above-mentioned increases, the
Local Union Dues rate each member pays when on the status of Long-Term Sick,
Long-Term Industrial Injury, Maternity Leave, or Military Leave will also increase
from $42.28 per month to $43.18 (½ of their Union Dues and the General Fund
