Q: How do I log into the system?

A: The first time you log in, your seven (7) character member number is your user name; use your last name and the last four digits of your SSN number as your password. You will be prompted immediately to create a new password. Your new password must be at least eight (8) characters long and include at least two alpha and two numeric characters.

Q: Can I call the Hall and arrange for my payment to be made?

A: We prefer you make payments yourself since you are responsible for your credit card and bank account data. If you call the Hall, we can help you make a payment.

Q: How soon will my payment be processed?

A: All payments are processed by the end of every business day. Credentials are mailed the next business day. It can take 10-15 days for your credentials to arrive via USPS. Please allow enough time to receive your credentials before the new quarter starts. Any time a payment is made after 3:30 p.m. CST, it is considered a payment for the following business day. This can be VERY IMPORTANT if you are behind in paying your dues.

Q: What happens if I make a duplicate payment?

A: In this system, duplicate payments should not occur. When you log in, you will see all outstanding charges pending with Local134. If your dues are current, there will be no charges to pay.

Q: Will I receive a confirmation number when my payment is complete?

A: Yes. You will see a printable screen with your transaction number. You will also receive an e-mail with the same data.

Q: I tried to pay, but the system said my Union Card Number was not valid. What happened?

A: You may have entered your Union Card Number incorrectly. You only enter the seven-character card number, not any characters following the first seven. Your Member Type (A102, CJC, EPO3, BL, etc.) follows your card number but is not part of the Union Card Number itself.

Also, no “working dues” can be paid through the automated system.

Q: What can I do if I forgot my password?

A: On the login screen, click “Forgot password” and follow the instructions. A new password will be e-mailed to you and you will need to reset it the next time you log in.

Q: Do I need to re-enter my bank or credit card data every time I use the system?

A: Yes. The system does not store your payment data in any database. You need to re-enter your bank or credit card information each time you make a payment.

Q: Can I schedule my dues payment to be made each quarter automatically?

A: No. This feature is not available.
