Union dues up again

[ATCBigE]

Another 6% in my state (IL). from 33 to 35. Just what I need another 50+ bucks a year taken from me.

Health insurance up 33% since end of 2024 from basically 96 to 128.

Since I started as regular, my pay has went from 66,851 in 2023 as 48K at my highest pay to 64,211 currently as 43K in 2026.

No wonder people are struggling as rural carrier in this economy. That isn't even counting carriers with POV like myself.

Just crazy.

you should ask yourself why you are still paying for this union while it does not work for you?
