In November 2023, the Austin Firefighters Association (AFA) Local 975 conducted online voting through which the membership approved an increase of monthly retiree dues from $7.50 to $8.76. Over the past months, AFA representatives have contacted their retired members to obtain signatures for updated Membership Dues Withholding Authorization forms. AFA members who have submitted their form will see the increase take effect as of their July 2024 annuity paycheck. Members who have not submitted their form will no longer receive a deduction and have effectively cancelled their AFA membership. If you have any questions, or you would like to reinstate your AFA membership, please contact AFA Local 975 directly at (512) 441-7572 or info@iafflocal975.org.
