Greetings, Local 47 members! 

Membership Dues + Work Dues = Operating Budget 

Our Local’s income is derived from two sources, membership and work dues. Your timely payments of both are essential to the operations of your union. Year after year we are facing rising costs, from insurance to utilities while revenues are barely keeping pace. Plan on attending the next General Membership meeting on Monday, April 27th at 7:30 p.m. here at the local for information on finances and more. This meeting will be in person only due to elections of Hearing Board Officers.  

Our annual Membership Drive starts on April 1 and runs through June 30. During this three-month period all initiation fees, both Federation and Local, are waived resulting in a savings of $140 for first time members. Please join us in promoting this great opportunity by sharing this information with your colleagues and students. See our website, www.afm47.org/join for more information.
