Dues & Fees

A union is a business with a major source of revenue: the dues, fees, special assessments and fines they charge their members.

Paying union dues or fees is typically an unavoidable fact. USW will want to get its cut of your paycheck and is free to do what it wants with those funds without your approval.

• Union dues are typically 1.45 percent of gross monthly pay, plus $0.02 per hour worked every month.
• Union dues can range from $5 per month up to 2.8X hourly rate.
