What Standing Committees Do?
An effective standing committee is a motivated, energetic and innovative group of members who can apply their abilities to their areas of interest. Standing committees work in cooperation with their local union executive board. They identify topics ,programs and issues that are important to the membership, the community, the local union, the international union and labor movement as a whole. They develop plans and proposals for activities and , when approved by the local union executive board, carry out those plans. Standing committees report out at membership meetings on the progress of their activities and future plans
As a result of the Fact Finder’s decision in May 2015 effective on or about March 20, 2016 the dental insurance premium 20 % co-share cost will begin. This means that the members will pay 20% of the cost of the dental insurance premium. The figures below are the total cost, the university’s share and our share.
We are responsible for the Employee Biweekly Cost.
The figures for this change are as follows:
Delta Dental – 20% Employee Cost Share (March 2016) 12 Month Employees
| Total Biweekly Cost | University Biweekly Cost | Employee Biweekly Cost | |
| Single | 16.88 | 13.50 | 3.38 |
| Two Person | 31.39 | 25.11 | 6.28 |
| Family | 56.48 | 45.19 | 11.30 |
Ever hear that question?
“The dues increase passed by the International UAW in June 2014 and scheduled for November 1, 2014 was delayed due to technical issues. The increase is one half hour per month so the dues will be 2 and one half hours per month and that deduction will begin with the check of January 28, 2015 and is NOT retroactive.”
