I don't think so ,(are you a recent hire ? ) I have no idea what union you are affiliated with ? But I have never heard of this / to me that is wrong ! Your dues start when you become a union member . When i got out of the usaf I worked at Phila International airport for 3 yrs as a Freight Agent (Teamsters) i was in a local at that time (and dues started when you became a union member period I moved on and have had a job with Boeings Helicopter Div. for 18 yrs. now 13 of them in local 1069 of the U.A.W. and they never did any BACK COLLECTION ! I would talk to someone you can trust ,, and find out if that is your union's normal ? practice . Good Luck
