| Local 1904 union dues are 1% of pre-tax income. If you do not join, you still pay 0.85% of your gross as an agency shop fee. Becoming a full member therefore costs 0.15% (.0015), or, $1.50 for every $1,000 of income. |
| Faculty Example: If you make $50,000 before taxes, it costs $75 per year to join the union. Faculty receive paychecks based on 21.5-21.7 pay periods per year. That means it costs about $75/21.5=$3.49 per paycheck to join the union. (Actual amount per check will differ slightly because of the slight variation in number of pay periods.) |
| Staff/Librarian Example: Librarians and Professional Staff receive 26 paychecks per year. If you make $40,000 before taxes, it costs you $60 per year to join. Or, about $2.31 per paycheck. |
