To apply to a different local with a higher fee, a member in good standing is required to pay the difference in fees. This is important because joining a different local union typically involves aligning with that local's financial structure and obligations. The higher fee represents the costs associated with membership benefits, services, and representation that the new local provides.

This system ensures that all members contribute fairly to their respective local unions, maintaining the balance of funding for services rendered. Therefore, paying the difference is not just a formality but also a necessary step to access the resources that correspond to the local union's operations and offerings.
