working untill 11pm and union dues

I was told in my interview i would get 9.75 starting (mind you this is in Illinois in which the minimum wage is 8.75 at the time) to find out 3 months later they lied to me and have been paying me 8.75 ( which is partially my fault for not checking or looking at how much they really paid me, a young and dumb mistake.) They promised me at least 24 hours a week which is part time because that is what i applied for. After my first week I was getting 40 hours a week ( 5 days a week, this went on for a bout 3 weeks) Then we had a change in management in the GM side for overnight ( we actually had 2 but the first one didn't really matter because he ended up on the grocery side after 1 week) they gradually started cutting my hours down 5 days, 3 days, 1 day a week. I thought they were trying to get rid of me so i asked 2 of the head people in charge what was going on with my hours and if it was because of something i have/had been doing/done. They told me " Oh no you're doing fine. We have to give the 4 new people we hired hours." They took hours out of my week and one other girl's week and that's it. But they only took 1 of her days away. and 4 of mine ( technically 2 because i'm only supposed to have 3 days a week because of part time.) After all that is said and done, I am putting in my 2 weeks today and instead of 1 day a week for 8.75 an hour i will be getting 11.79 an hour 6 days a week ;D
