Union Market Share
Dues Refund
Program
Union market share protection is a program that UFCW 5
has implemented to help increase UFCW membership and
participation in union activities. Activities in
the program include supporting union organizing drives,
participating in rallies, distributing information about
the union at festivals, fiestas and fairs, phone
banking, precinct walking, helping out on picket lines
and other activities. In other words, there is
something for everyone.
If you
choose to participate in the program you must complete 4
hours of union activities over the course of the year.
Any combination of time that equals the 4 hours is
acceptable. If you participate and meet the hours
requirement, $60 ($5 month) will be refunded to you from
the beginning of the next calendar year. Check
with your area office to sign up and for details of eligible
events.
Initiation Fee Credit
For New Hires
New Local 5
members are invited to take part in the initiation fee
credit for new hires program.
By participating news members can
reduce their initiation fees by one
third. The attendance requirements are the same as the
union market share program.
The
sooner the new member's meeting and/or local 5
activities are completed the sooner the initiation
reduction takes place.
This
initiation fee credit applies to all job classifications and will apply
to future promotions without having to attend additional
meetings.
Attending
local 5 actions that qualify under the union
market share program may be substituted for attendance
at
membership meetings. One action/event=one
meeting. Check the website for coming events.
Please
contact your union representative or area office for further
information on participating in the program.
