Dues payments are to be paid by the first day of the month. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check, credit card payment in person & over the phone, or by money order. Please see the tab titled "Pay your dues online" to learn how you can pay on your phone any time 24/7. We now take recurring payments scheduled for the 15th of each month. You simply call the office, speak with Gail the bookkeeper and give her your credit or debit card information, and we will automatically deduct your dues each month on the 15th. We then will mail you your dues receipt. If paying by mail please include your book with payment or if you choose to keep your book please include your book number in the memo of the check. A copy of your dues receipt showing the amount you paid along with a paid through date will be mailed back to you. If your book is included with your payment, we will stamp and return it to the mailing address we have on file.
If you move it is your responsibility to notify the union hall who in turns notifies the MLBF so that your new address is on record.
NOTE: If you have not paid your dues for a period of two months, your Secretary-Treasurer Anthony Repetto will be forced to run the reports and the computer will automatically suspend you according to the Union's Constitution.
If you have any question in regards to your benefits,
MLBF will be glad to help you.
