Tired Of Paying Berg Dues?

What are Berg Dues?

Money coming out of your check for poor healthcare, and money coming out of your check for retirement are examples of Berg Dues.  Another example of Berg dues is the cost of furnishing and replacing expensive tools. In the IBEW, members have healthcare and retirement in addition to their pay—not deducted from their check! All members only have to furnish basic hand tools. Power and large tools are provided by the contractor.

By all accounts, IBEW Union Dues are less than Berg Dues.

What are Union Dues?

Union Dues are voted on and decided by the membership by secret ballot as the necessary amount to  invest in their future and secure strong representation. Just like the Chamber of Commerce, your place of worship, or any other membership organization, financial support is a fact of life. Dues are used to run your Union and keep it  strong.   You  must be a member to  participate in the local union, run for local union office, be a  union steward, and /or vote on  future  contracts.

IBEW Union Dues amounts vary from Local to Local. This means that your dues may be slightly higher or slightly less in one area or another. The reason they vary is a reflection of what the membership of that Local deems as a necessary amount to keep the Local Union running with the resources it needs. It’s a small price to pay for the security and support that comes with a union contract.

All funds are under the sole control of the membership. Strict accounting of funds is required by federal law and expenditures are subject to the approval of the members.

Berg doesn't have this kind of transparency.
