DUES

2020 Annual Dues ($72) are payable to the B18 office by December 31, 2019. Union Cards will be mailed once B18 gets its supply from IATSE.

As a convenience, members may pay their dues online using credit/debit cards. Click HERE. (Online payments are subject to a fee to recover what the Local is charged for online processing.)

If you have questions or concerns, or want to know your account balance, please contact B18 Member Services at <membership@iatse-local-b18.org> or call the office at 415-974-0860.

Besides payment of Annual Dues, payment of a 1% assessment on B18-wages maintains good-standing within the Local. Use the Membership Fees link to the left for details. (Posted 11/28)

WORKING AT CHASE CENTER?

If you receive a job offer from the Warriors or are already working at the new Chase Center, please complete IATSE's Authorization for Representation form.

Fill out the entire form:
under “Current Crafts” put your job title from the offer letter (e.g. ticket taker, usher, etc.).

Please also inform Member Services that you are working at Chase. If you prefer to file your authorization on paper, also notify Member Services.

In July, Johnny Moreno, B18's Business Agent, started asking members to do this. To see the posting placed here at that time, click HERE.

By filing the Authorization for Representation online, you will help the Local begin to negotiate on your behalf, just as it does all over San Francisco.
