When I was in the machinists, it was 2 1/2 times the average hourly wage in the local, plus a national union assessment fee. At time time I was making around $18 per hour. (close to the avg.) Dues were $53.00 per month. You had to be a member of the union to work there. I took a withdrawal in 1998 in hopes of some day getting some of my union retirement money. I'm not holding my breath.

I heard a radio talk show guy in Milwaukee the other day mention that teacher’s union (and I believe he added AFSCME too) paid about $100 a month. That hundo goes a long way for groceries and car payments.
