    *Q: How much are union dues?*
     
    *Q: How much are union dues?*
     
    Union dues are 1.275% of your base pay. Any easy way to think of this is $12.75 for every $1000.00 earned. But, no one will pay any dues until we have voted to ratify our first contract. Most people will not vote for a contract that doesn't increase wages enough to cover dues. More members mean more power and bigger improvements.

    A portion of your dues will remain with your local (Research Workers United), which means you and your colleagues will decide how best to use them to advance your interests in the workplace. The rest are split between the statewide AFSCME council (Council 75) and AFSCME International. These funds are used to pay for member training, expert staff to help support your local and bargain good contracts, legal services, advocacy for labor-friendly laws and policies, bringing new members into our union, and a variety of other services to improve the lives of members.
