Fair Share Fee Payers Dues
January 1, 2010
In determining the 2010 fair share fee, the expenditures of AFSCME International, AFSCME Council 5, and AFSCME Local 3142 during the calendar year of 2008 were used in the calculation. Applying the criteria set forth above for determining chargeable and non-chargeable expenditures, the percentage of chargeable expenses for AFSCME International was determined to be 51.271%. The percentage of chargeable expenses for Council 5 was determined to be 88.28%. The percentage of chargeable expenses for Local 3142 was determined to be 88.44%
The chargeable fair share percentage represents a weighted average and is based upon the percentage of chargeable expenditures for AFSCME International, AFSCME Council 5 and Local 3142, to the dues and capita rate that will be in effect for each on January 1, 2010. This calculation resulted in a weighted average chargeable fair share percentage of 77.45%.
The calculation of expenses for which fair share fee payers can be charged a pro rata share is based on financial information provided by AFSCME International. This financial information sets forth the expenditures for AFSCME International, AFSCME Council 5 and Local 3142 during calendar year 2008 and states the amounts of expenditures which are chargeable to fair share fee payers pursuant to the criteria set forth above.
Based on the implementation of a union dues increase within our Local, I have recomputed the fair share fee at a rate not to exceed 85% of the new member’s dues rate.
The new dues for Local 3142 are $20.22 effective January 15, 2010. Therefore, the new fair share fee payer rate is $15.66 per payroll period (77.45% of full member dues).
