Do we pay union dues while we are laid off? I'd rather know now than be surprised when I receive a subpay check.
Thanks.

99.99% sure we do, I think it comes out of sub-pay.

If you are drawing sub pay - you will pay one hour pay in union dues.

You are responsible for making the monthly car payment. It used to be that if you didn't make the payment the loan time would be extended until the obligation was met. That was quite some time ago. Cant really say for sure now.
