The Delegates of the 38th  IBEW International Convention, which was conducted in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, during the week of September 19 through 23, 2011, approved
amendments to Article IX of the IBEW Constitution. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2012, there will be a per capita increase of two dollars ($2.00) for all members, and the following rates will apply to the I.O. portion of all monthly dues payments covering January 2012 and thereafter:  

“A” Members  
Per Capita:      $15.00 
Pension Fund:  $14.00 

            Total: $29.00 + $0.50 (LU 490) = $29.50 per month       

In accordance with Article IX of the IBEW Constitution, $15.00 per month from each member will be deposited in the General Fund, and the additional amount paid by “A” members ($14.00 per month) will be deposited into the IBEW Pension Benefit Fund. It will not be necessary to amend the local union bylaws with respect to this dues increase,
because these changes were approved at the IBEW International Convention. The payment of monthly per capita and Pension Benefit Fund (PBF) contributions to the
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers is a duty that is required of each individual member. Moreover, each financial secretary is responsible for collecting and forwarding all per capita and PBF payments to the International Office in a timely manner.
