Paying Your Dues Impacts More Than You Think
When you allocate your wages and pay your dues you expand your opportunities into a life long career with the highest wages and benefits in your industry. You help create new job opportunities, secure benefits for all members and amplify your political presence in your community and district council.
DC16 STAR TRAINING
The STAR program is paid for by contributions from each of you which were achieved through Collective Bargaining. This program is designed entirely for YOU. It exists to offer you real incentives to acquire the certifications, training, and tools that today's finishing trades mechanics require. It exists to enhance your ability to succeed in a competitive environment. When DC 16 workers are more productive, our DC 16 employers are more competitive. The more competitive your employer is, the greater share of their market they can compete in. The larger their market share, the more employment opportunities for you...the more secure your future becomes.
