Depends on how much the unions think they can get away with.

Union dues are usually a percentage of one's pay determined by by-laws and contract. They go up with raises etc...

You can claim union dues on your tax return.

If you get a paycheck while a union member union dues will be taken. No paycheck, no dues.

Some electricians can operate a hammer. lol

My brother died fairly young (48). He'd been in the Boilermaker 101 since he was 18 years old.

30 years.

After his death, I contacted the Union HQ regarding life insurance and any vested funds.

He had to stop paying dues a couple years before his death because he was out of work and flat-ass broke.

Not a penny from the Union.

Hmmm.....Maybe I'll call the company I work for or the lodge I belong to a couple of years after I leave and ask them for life insurance.

Bottom line: If you stop paying dues you are no longer a member of that organization.

The average annual union dues in the US is 400 a year.

That's not much. He may have been broke but he was also irresponsible in a lot of ways.
