Received a letter the other day asking me to consider re-joining the AOA. I was informed of a standing policy that would require me to pay back dues of over 10K USD to re-join. Why would I or any other potential member ever subject themselves to pay such a fee? What is really ironic is the back pay owed is more than twice the time period I was in the union to begin with prior to resigning.
If the AOA was serious about pulling members in, I think they would have thought about their ridiculous policy and amended it prior to putting pen to paper.
Politics, now they can honestly say they invited people back....NOT!
