Due to the challenging economic duress we are currently experiencing, the BCFPE Executive Board has voted unanimously to absorb the pass-through increase (AFT, AFT-Maryland) at this time.
This means that the FPE will defer the scheduled union dues increase for this year and the scheduled increase and pass-through will be reviewed again next October.
We want to stay strong as a union and continue to grow and gain strength in membership numbers. Raising union dues is necessary so that we may continue to provide you with the best level of benefits and support as you have experienced from the BCFPE in the past. We will also continue to make decisions that we feel are in the best interest our members.
