How much will dues be?

Our affiliate union’s dues are set at 1.39%. The rate cannot be changed without membership approval and nobody will pay dues until Penn State faculty union membership approves a contract.

How will dues be used?

Dues cover the costs of:

• member representation: Business Agents help to develop and sustain a strong internal structure of stewards and culture of member engagement that keeps every workplace involved in the life of the union
• negotiating and enforcing our contract: bargaining with the employer and processing grievances through binding arbitration
• organizing: building strength by bringing new members into the union
• a strike fund to sustain members should we collectively decide to withhold our labor.

It is illegal to use member dues for political purposes.
