A Message from Business Manager Che' Timmons
Updated April 17, 2020
Brother and Sisters,
The UA has put out a recommendation and guidelines for covering the fixed monthly counter dues which will help members affected by COVID-19. The UA recommends that the Local Union covers the fixed monthly counter dues for any members that have their hours affected due to COVID-19, resulting in unemployment. I applaud the General President and the UA for their foresight in assisting the Local Unions and their members during this crisis.
I, too, have been looking at this as the next step in assisting our Members during this time. My view of affected members is broader because I believe each and every one of us, and our households, are affected in one way or another. Whether it’s you or your spouse being unemployed, the need to purchase additional food and supplies to limit the amount trips to the store, as well as additional expenses we aren’t accustomed to, this situation has made a large impact on our lives in a multitude of ways.
With that, I have decided, with unanimous approval from your Executive Board, to credit one month of fixed monthly counter dues to every UA Local 342 Member. This will start for the month of April and will be evaluated on a month-to-month basis set to continue until the shelter in place order is lifted. If your dues are paid up for future months or if you are owing any previous months, then the credit will be applied for the next month owed. It is my belief that we all have enough to worry about and this will take one thing off our plates as we navigate this situation. No UA Local 342 Member should have to worry about his membership being affected by this crisis.
Fraternally yours,
Che Timmons
Business Manager
