MONTHLY DUES – Brother and Sisters,
Attached is a letter approving the suspension of monthly dues for April, May and June. This is for those members who are not working. At the end of each month, if according to your BDS profile you have not worked more than 5 days you will not be required to pay dues for that month. If you worked 6 days or more, then you will be required to pay for that month. This only applies to those members who are current thru March. If you have prepaid thru this time frame and did not work during these months then you will receive a credit for following months. CLICK HERE FOR APPROVAL LETTER SUSPENDING DUES
