AFT National and AFT-CT dues increase

The union dues increase you will experience in your pay check dated September 19, 2014 is because national AFT National and AFT CT raised their dues at their conventions. The increase will be $0.44 per pay period.

A&R is AFT Local 4200. A&R has not raised our own dues, but we are required to implement any dues increase approved by the national and state organizations.
