Tom Carney, ATU Local 726, Recording Secretary, Staten Island Division sent out an e-mail saying his union voted by an 89% margin to up their union dues by $2 per week with the money going to help TWU Local 100 cope with the Taylor Law fines.
These days, the ATU guys seem pretty happy, even though they now pay 1.5% of their gross income for health benefits they got raises and many will get fat pension rebate checks.
