This year, UEA is offering a special incentive for new members. Here are the details of the offer and the benefits that come with full membership.
Normally, Active Membership for 2013-14 would be $12.84 more per paycheck. As a special incentive this year, we are waiving the local UEA component for those who sign on to Active membership.
This means you pay only an additional $49 over the course of the entire year in order to acquire the range of member benefits. At this special incentive rate, over 16 paychecks that is only $3.07 extra cost per paycheck.
This is an exceptional value, and your full membership would be of great assistance as we enter another negotiation cycle.
To find out more, contact one of your union representatives or call the UEA office: 218-726-8736.
