Recently a number of WFSE/AFSCME members were mailed dues refund checks. Printed on the check was the notation “756 dues refund check.” Members should cash these checks.
The refunds were generated because, in the past, when members received the $756 healthcare grievance settlement check, the state had mistakenly taken union dues out of the checks. When WFSE/AFSCME investigated the matter, the union determined dues should not have been deducted and refunds were then mailed.
The refunds vary from member to member because the refund is based only on the extra amount of dues or fees the member paid on the settlement amount.
