Welcome to Bulletin Board, Local 802’s new blog, intended to contribute news and information relating to issues currently concerning our membership. Bulletin Board will be a space in which we will share information about topics that directly affect us and our careers, from workplace concerns and industry challenges, to legislation, pension, and health care information.

Union dues pay for everything the union provides, from negotiating and administering your contracts to providing legal help for members to paying fair wages and benefits for the staff who provides union services. Local 802 members in good standing can conveniently pay their dues online – both quarterly union dues AND work dues – making it easy to stay paid-up even when you don’t have time to come into the office. (However, if you have fallen two or more quarters behind in your payments, you’ll have to contact the Membership Department at 212-245-4802.)

If you’re a member in good standing, you can log in to the member portal to make dues payments using your PayPal account, or you can make a one-time payment by entering your credit card info. Need help figuring out how to pay your dues online? We’ve got you covered with easy, step-by-step guides:

Member Portal Registration and Overview – how to register for an account on the member portal.

Paying Your Membership Dues Via PayPal – where to find out if you owe quarterly membership dues on the portal and how to make payments.
