Quarter dues, currently $58 per quarter, are the dues that pay for your membership in the IATSE (the International). Work dues are 2% of your gross salary (deducted from your check if you sign dues check-off) and are what finances the day-to-day operation of Local 764. If you do not sign a dues check-off, you will be billed for these dues.

Local 764, as a Labor Union, has an expectation of our members working, earning money, and paying 2% of those earnings to the local in dues.  The local has set the minimum amount of dues each member should pay in a calendar year as $160.  This is 2% of $8,000.  Any member not earning $8,000 in a calendar year will be assessed $160 or whatever part of that equals 2% of $8,000.  
All members are informed of the minimum assessment at the time of their registration.
