The Business Behind the Union

Unions operate as businesses. Their only source of income is member dues and fees — money deducted from your paycheck.

That means: 

  • You will be required to pay monthly dues. 

  • You may face additional fees and assessments. 

  • Unions need your money to operate.

Make an Informed Choice.

Unions can promise anything, but results aren’t guaranteed. Before making a decision that impacts your career and future, get the facts, ask questions, and understand all sides.

Disclaimer: These estimates are based on full time employment and do not include any additional potential fines, fees, or assessments associated with membership.
