Like any organization, a union needs resources to function. Unlike a company, the union is not about making money – its about building power for working people. Only local union members and elected convention delegates can vote, in a democratic manner, to change the dues. This is protected by the IBEW Constitution, Local Union By-laws, and federal law.
