Legal Question in Employment Law in New York
I.A.T.S.E. Local 52, New York
Recently, the union that I belonged to
kicked me out because I fell behind in
dues ($510.)... when I offered to pay
and bring my dues to current, I was
informed that they won't let me back in
for two years! As this has been my
principle source of income, I'm
screwed... can they prevent me from
getting an active card back for two
years? PS... I was kicked out in June
'06, but didn't learn of my expulsion
until last week... the union accepted
withholdings from pay stubs on jobs I
worked on thru December '06...
wouldn't that consistute a continuation
in some way of my membership?...

You need to explain the entire story and show all the documents to an attorney.
If you want to try to pursue it yourself
you can look into it through the US DOL,
or State Labor offices.
