Members At Annual Meeting Increase Dues

    MPEA dues were increased $2 per month by MPEA members attending the Annual Meeting May 5 and 6 in Billings.

    The decision to seek the increase, which becomes effective July 1, 2006, was made by the Board of Directors. Such a change by resolution requires a two-thirds vote of approval from those attending the Annual Meeting.

    The Board presented a number of reasons for the increase, including:

    The potential costs of litigation arising out of attempts to reduce retirement benefits for new employees and the possibility of reducing benefits for current employees and retirees.

    In the last two years there has been a dramatic increase in the costs of postage, travel and telephone usage.

    In addition to meeting the increased costs of staff, which receives the same pay increases received by state employees, there have been increased costs for health insurance premiums, building energy costs and numerous other day-to-day operations of the  Association.
