Not Your Father’s Union: The Playing Field is Changing Fast

In the world of union dues and agency fees, the playing field is changing fast.

The rise of right-to-work laws in some states, litigation against fair-share fees and the questions left by the turn of events in the federal decision means it’s hard to stay at the top of your game.

All this uncertainty casts a shadow on workers’ rights and payroll deductions and can mean chaos for union operations.

 

FEELING THE PINCH

 DO YOU HAVE…?

  1. Confusing applications that don’t talk to each other
  2. Disgruntled members
  3. Trouble transferring funds to local affiliates, regional offices and headquarters
  4. Challenges around keeping PAC/COPE funds separate from dues
