Local 794’s Initiation Fee is $4,000.00. As a convenience, when you begin work for Fox TV you sign an Authorization form allowing 10% of your pay to be deducted. Of this 10%, 9% goes toward payment of your Initiation Fee and the remaining 1% goes toward payment of your Union Membership Dues.


After your Initiation Fee is paid, your 3½% Union Dues is broken up as follows: 
1% is used for Union operating expenses and the remaining 2½% is put into a Strike Fund under your name. The Strike Fund is returned to each member each year, sometime in March, (except in the unlikely case of a strike, then the money will be used to support the member during the strike).
