Important Note:

Union members are responsible for checking their fee deductions to ensure they are paying the correct rate.  Refunds will only be agreed to in extenuating circumstances and shall be granted for no more than a 12 month period.

Notice (October 2008) 

At the Union Annual Meetings in 2005 members voted to adjust the Union fees automatically each year from 2007 by the inflation rate.

This means that from 1 October 2008 the Union fees were increased by 4%, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) movement from the year ending 30 June 2008.

Notice of these increases was sent to all employers in order to adjust the payroll deductions.

Those members who are paying by direct credit or direct debit should by now have changed the monthly amounts that are paid.

Monthly fee rates are calculated by multiplying the weekly rate by 52 (weeks) and dividing by 12 (months) as there is not exactly four weeks in every month.

If you have any queries about the fee structure contact MEMBER SUPPORT on 0800 UNION 1 (0800 864 661) and ask for the membership department.
