The amount a union carpenter pays in dues over a lifetime can vary significantly based on factors such as the local union's dues structure, the carpenter's salary, and the number of years worked. Typically, union dues range from 1% to 3% of a carpenter's gross wages. If a carpenter works for 30 to 40 years and earns an average annual salary of $50,000, they could pay anywhere from $30,000 to $60,000 in dues over their career. However, these figures can fluctuate based on specific local agreements and wage increases.
Retiree dues for the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 150 typically involve a nominal fee that supports the union's activities and benefits for retired members. The specific amount can vary, so it's best to consult the local union's official resources or contact their office directly for the most accurate and current information. These dues help maintain access to union resources and support services for retirees.

Yes, typically union members are required to pay union dues, even before a contract is signed, as these dues fund the union's activities, including negotiations. However, the specific policies regarding when dues are collected can vary by union and region. Some unions might allow new members to join and participate in negotiations before their dues are due, while others may require payment upfront. It's best to check with the specific union for their rules.
