Paying Your Fees
Keep Financial: Switch your union dues now!
Over 80% of NSW T&S Branch members working for Telstra have now made the switch to direct deduction of union dues from sources other than Telstra. This policy was undertaken in an attempt to weaken the Union's level of service however the response from members suggests that the Union's finances will be as strong as they ever were.
Other than paying your dues directly to the Union Office by cheque or cash, you can choose to have them regularly deducted from a financial institution. You can direct debit from your bank or credit union account - this is done monthly. Direct debit from credit cards is a very simple option - it also is monthly and there are no fees at all - the Union accepts Bankcard, Mastercard or Visa but not American Express. If you wish to discuss these details further please contact Ivka in the CEPU office on (02) 9281 2811. Each member wanting to switch will need to sign an authority and return it to the Union office before it goes off to the financial institution.
