While we *shouldn't* have to do it, we have to do it. And its always going to be that way because a union should never be able to shirk its share of responsibility of contract enforcement.

Stop it with the petty dues refund nonsense and plow all that money into I.T. and manual contract enforcement on our end. Then when we catch and recover more money, and we will, that money will be subject to regular dues anyway. Once we get to 100% automated contractual enforcement, only then should we play footsie with meaningless dues refunds.
