A union is a business with only one major source of revenue: the dues, other fees, special assessments and fines they charge their members.

Paying union dues or fees is typically an unavoidable fact. The Teamsters Union will want to get its cut of your paycheck and is free to do what it wants with those funds without your approval.

Local 439 Dues & Fees

Here are some facts about fees and union dues, according to the local 439's financial document:

The Teamsters Union stands to gain a lot by organizing you and your fellow colleagues. With colleagues paying dues for every month for four years, that money can really add up.

That's what the organizing drive means to the Teamsters Union - money.

But what would that mean to you? By entering some simple information, you can see what you might be giving the Teamsters Union over the life of a four-year contract.

Remember, even if the Teamsters Union wins, they can only get what our organization is willing to agree to in negotiations. Colleagues on the other hand, don't get to negotiate the amount of union dues. That amount is set by the union.
