A union is a business with a major source of revenue: the dues, fees, special assessments, and fines it charges its members.
Paying union dues or fees is typically an unavoidable fact. The union will want to get its cut of your paycheck and is free to do what it wants with those funds without your approval.
Here are some facts about union dues and fees:
- Union dues are typically 2.5 times an employee’s hourly rate of pay per month
- Union dues can range from $45 to $92 a month, depending on your hourly rate of pay.
