Pay your Local 23 Dues Online

LOCAL 23 CARDHOLDERS ONLY

We have implemented a method of paying your Local 23 dues online. Here are the steps:

Use this link to send an email to Dave Allen, the secretary-treasurer, at

telling him how many quarters you want to pay for.  The price, online only, will be $77.50 per quarter, which adds up to $310  for the whole year.  This includes a surcharge for the Paypal service that we are using.

He will send you an invoice, to the email address you gave him, for the amount that you have requested.  There will be a link in that invoice to the Paypal payment service.  Click that.  You will be sent to the secure Paypal portal, where you can use any major credit or debit card to pay.  This will work on a desktop or mobile device.

You will receive a receipt for your purchase, and  Dave will arrange to get your stamps to you.

You can still mail a check to Dave of course, and the price would be the normal $75 per quarter, the mailing address:

IATSE Local 23
PO Box 23044
Providence RI  02903

If you have any issues with this, please send Dave Allen another email and explain your issue.  Thanks.

Another round of money grants from CREW NATION

Crew Nation is making another round of grants available, as they did in April, this time for anyone who was affected by the layoffs in July, August and September. One of the conditions of this one is that you did not get any money from the previous round.

Charlie Ryan, our Business Agent, has posted a document on this website, download link here-
