What do our dues do?

Dues are the resources union members pool together to ensure our union is strong and can bargain for improved working conditions in future contracts and enforce existing contracts that improve working conditions.

How to calculate your dues per paycheck:

1. Calculate your monthly dues using Table 1
2. Insert the calculation from Table 1 into the dues ($ / month) figure in Table 2  

Notes, Table 1:

1. For returning faculty, the total compensation figures used to calculate dues are equivalent to the cumulative pay from the prior academic year. For newly hired faculty, the total compensation figures are equivalent to your current annual salary (full-time) or your current semester pay (adjunct)
2. Due to the logic below, any full-time faculty who earned $53,400 or more in the prior academic year is responsible for the maximum $77/month

Table 1, Union member monthly dues

Total Compensation	Dues (Monthly)
Under $5,196	$12.65
$5,196 – $16,000	$35.00
Over $16,000	Whichever is greater: 1. 3 times hourly rate Full-time hourly rate = Salary divided by 2080 Part-time hourly rate = Salary divided by 1040 OR 2. Minimum of $40.00/monthly, maximum of $77.00/monthly

Notes, Table 2:

1. The dues ($ / month) figure below in Table 2 can be calculated using Table 1 above
2. Part-time (adjunct) dues deductions begin on the third paycheck of each semester
