There is a “new” deduction on your pay cheque. This new deduction, which appears as 500WGASS, is designed to collect Union dues in arrears.
This came about because of the outsourcing of the Pay Office from the BCMEA to ADP. ADP collected dues off people they were not supposed to and failed to deduct dues off people
who were on dues check-off. As a result some people have up to 6 months in dues owing to the Union.
The intent is to collect up to $220 per week (other than the week in which current dues are deducted) until the amount owing is fully paid.
