When one is employed in another local union jurisdiction, regular monthly dues are paid to the ?

• A. Host Local
• B. Home Local
• C. Dues Office
• D. Local Union Directory

Answer: (B)

When you are a member of a local union but are employed in another local’s jurisdiction, your regular monthly dues stay with your home local. Your home local is the entity that administers your membership, keeps your dues records, and provides your benefits and voting rights, no matter where you work. The host local may bill for a separate per-capita tax to fund its own operations while you’re working there, but that is distinct from your regular dues. The dues office handles centralized processing, not the act of sending your standard dues to the host local. In short, dues are paid to the home local.
