Good-Standing Restoration Via ‘Double Dues’ Plan Begins With First Payroll Check in November

The MTA will begin implementing the “double dues” payment plan for the nearly 700 members who signed up to restore their good-standing membership with the first payroll check in November.

The Union negotiated the payback plan with the MTA over the summer to provide members, who fell behind in their dues after the 2005 strike, a relatively painless method to regain full membership in the union.

It has taken a bit longer than expected for MTA payroll to execute the plan.

Local 100 Secretary Treasurer Earl Phillips thanked those who signed up for the double-dues restoration plan for their patience during the process.  “I know those who signed up are anxious to get themselves back into good standing.  And we are eager to get as many members as possible back into the ranks of full membership.  We are a stronger union when the entire membership shares ownership of our great organization.”
