What is the maximum number of months of dues a member can owe before being at risk of expulsion?

The maximum number of months of dues a member can owe before being at risk of expulsion is six months. This timeframe is a crucial aspect of membership maintenance within IBEW, as it establishes a clear boundary for financial responsibility among members. If a member fails to pay their dues for six consecutive months, they become vulnerable to expulsion, which underscores the importance of staying current with dues to maintain good standing within the union.

This policy helps foster accountability and ensures that all members contribute to the collective financial health of the organization, allowing it to continue providing support and resources to its members. Understanding this timeframe is vital for members to manage their membership status proactively and avoid potential issues that could arise from unpaid dues.
