News about membership and union topics

The membership contingent increases or remains unchanged

NEWS 16-03-2022: Many of the union members in the next coming days receive an SMS message that their monthly membership contingent will increase by a certain amount from April 1, 2022. But there are also many others who do not receive an SMS message – for their contingent will be the same like now.

This is based on changes to the membership contingent s, adopted in SIK’s congress in September 2021. It has been followed up with a letter in December to the 20 branches of the trade union affiliated with SIK, by the union by Vice President Jokum Zeeb with a reminder and summary of the content of the changes. And the reminder has here in 2022 been repeated both in writing and calls by phone. The Vice President has also asked the branches to inform any of the contingent changes to SIK no later than 5 March 2022.

One of the changes adopted in the congress is that the trade union’s share of the individual members’ monthly membership contingenr will be increased by DKK 15 from DKK 150 to DKK 165 with effect from 1 April 2022. This was done with reference to the increasing number of tasks with member cases in the trade union secretariat.

As the structure of SIK as it is so far, the trade union congress can not dictate the size of the branches’ share of the member’s contingent. The branches must determine this themselves. Therefore, there is not one same contingent in the country within the organization.

The congress in September thus contented itself with calling on the branches to reduce their share of the contingent by the equivalent of DKK 15 so that an increase in the individual member’s total contingent can be avoided.

Here, two weeks before the cut-off date, a picture emerges with four categories:

1) Full follow-up of the congress’ call, and thus unchanged overall contingent (the branches in Qaqortoq, Nuuk and Tasiilaq),

2) Partial follow-up of the congress’ call (the branches in Ilulissat, Qasigiannguit, Nanortalik and Upernavik), and thus an increase in the contingent, however, of less than DKK 15.

3) No follow-up of the congress’ call, and thus an increase of DKK 15. The branches in the following towns and villages have announced this: Sisimiut, Aasiaat, Kangaamiut, Kangaatsiaq, Maniitsoq, Uummannaq, Kangerlussuaq and Qeqertarsuaq.

4) At the end of the deadline, the other branches have not announced what they have decided on their part of the contingent – so in reality there will be an increase of DKK 15.
