Dues Error to Be Corrected
APWU Web News Article #28-06, May 4, 2006
Contrary to clear instructions provided by the APWU that the special dues assessment was to be deducted only in Pay Periods 07-06 and 08-06 in $2.50 increments, the USPS Data Center has processed a third $2.50 deduction in Pay Period 09-06, which is reflected in paychecks dated May 5. This third deduction is beyond what was approved by the APWU National Executive Board, and will be rebated to union members in Pay Period 10-06.
Dues will return to normal levels in Pay Period 11-06.
The National Executive Board approved the $5 assessment to help fund the union’s fight against USPS “network consolidation.”
This mistake was beyond the union’s control, and it will be corrected as expeditiously as possible.
