Retirement Sign PictureGuild retirees are owed a great debt for their years of service in building and sustaining our union. While they no longer pay regular dues or are part of any bargaining unit, retirees can remain in our local by paying annual dues of $6. Such dues entitle them to continue to receive local newsletters and communications, a free subscription to the Labor Tribune and a free ticket to our annual dinner.  To maintain your membership after retirement, mail a check or stop by our local office.
