if you came back from leave of absense, look at your pay check to see if union dues are being taken out... i've been back for 6 months and no union dues are being taken out.

Waiving back dues should only apply when a worker goes off on LOA, Comp or some other reason. If you are working you are benefiting from union membership and should pay your dues. Waiting six months to take care of it is a little long. Doesn't the company notify the union of layoff recalls?
This was a problem a couple years ago when hundreds of people were laid off, many for the first time. Like myself. You knew to get a withdrawal card but could not get a straight answer to if the dues were gonna be taken out automatically ?? With that many people laid off you would think the company or union would post something letting people know what's what, but that was not the case and most people I talked to paid 200$ a week for back dues. So now we know.
Forgetting to take a withdraw card is one thing, what about returning to work and not paying? Do you waive them then too? And does, or does not the company notify the locals of who is recalled?Whomever you talked to was telling you a damned lie.
The TITAN system will not allow a Local to bill no more than 2 months at a time.
My Local waives the back dues and fees when a member is recalled from layoff if they forgot (?) to take a W/Card.....KK

Just curious, and Happy Holidays.
Its not about the withdrawal card, Some people didn't know they had to full out a form to get dues taken out again once they came back from lay off. Local 710 did not wave jack sh#t in this case.
