CAMPAIGN OF OPPOSITION TO NMBI FEE INCREASE

FURTHER ADVICE REGARDING PAYMENT OF FEE

Dear Member

As a further update in relation to our ongoing campaign, of opposition to the increase in retention fee by NMBI, please note the following:

1. For those who have not yet cancelled their direct debits, to NMBI, please note our three unions have the full bank details for NMBI.  Therefore:

  • if any member has any difficulty, regarding cancelling their direct debit, they should contact their union immediately; and
  • members can email NMBI, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., confirming they wish to cancel their direct debit.

2.  In its most recent correspondence to us, which, regrettably, was again negative and threatening in tone, NMBI has confirmed that a reminder will issue, around 2nd February 2015, allowing a further 28 days, for payment of the fee, before it goes before any          board meeting.

This is confirmation that there is no requirement to pay any fee, in full, by 1st January 2015.

3.  We therefore reiterate our call that members should pay the retention fee, of €100, after 5th January 2015.

4.  We are currently finalising further steps in this campaign which we will advise you of next week i.e. badges/social media initiative.

CAMPAIGN CONTINUES - SUPPORT IS STRONG
