Union Dues: Deductions and Increase
Share This
Canada Post deducted union dues on your December 31, 2024 pay, representing the dues from pay period # 27 (December 2024). Your January 16th pay will include dues owed for pay period # 1 (January 2025). These two pay periods represent dues at the 2023 rate of $90.61.
The CUPW National Constitution sets the basic dues rate for Urban Operations workers at 300% of the maximum hourly rate for the lowest classification within the bargaining unit.
RSMC dues have been set at 1.71% of the wage portion received by each member, to a monthly maximum equal to the dues for Urban Operation members.
Following the recent 5% wage increase, the new maximum monthly deduction for union dues for members of the RSMC bargaining unit, effective January 1, 2024, is $95.14.
The Urban Operations new monthly deduction for union dues is $95.14, effective February 1, 2024.
The new monthly deduction of $95.14 for union dues will commence on February 1st, 2025.
Attached is a chart showing the 2024 basic dues rates as well as the exceptions for those Locals with local assessments.
I trust this information will assist in answering members’ questions about the monthly union dues deduction, which members will observe on their pay statements.
