Local 349 is committed to financial transparency and responsible financial management. We share our expenses and income in TARS Meetings and provide budget updates at General Membership Meetings. Our goal is to make ethical and responsible investments while supporting our members. Below, we address common financial questions and provide insights into how union funds are managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expense and Advances<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local 349 believes members should not be out of pocket when attending approved union-related events, including conventions, bargaining meetings, conferences, educationals, and other union business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the process easier to follow, expense and advance information has been moved to its own page. This includes details for delegates, alternates, and observers<\/strong>, along with the forms needed to request an advance, submit expenses, and choose a reimbursement method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please visit the page below for the most up-to-date forms, instructions, and submission details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Union Dues 101:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    All support staff contribute Support Union Dues<\/strong> for services provided by OPSEU. These dues are 1.375% of gross salary<\/strong> and are deducted automatically, regardless of whether a membership registration (formally known as the membership card) has been completed (though we encourage completing<\/a>). These funds cover services such as contract negotiations, legal representation, and grievance support. More details can be found on the OPSEU website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
