Gosh, thanks, this is good. Now I need to translate that into an example monthly amount for an imagined CT making, say, $50,000/yr. In fact, what I really need is an exhaustive table showing each bargaining unit on campus and what a member making, say, $50,000/year would pay each month in union dues. Only then would I feel ready to think about this. But I suppose that is a lot to ask for. Thanks to all, -- dkm
