Dues & Fees

Union membership carries with it the responsibility to help finance the union’s programs through payment of monthly dues.

According to the SEIU Constitution (Duties of Local Unions, Minimum dues, p 37):

“Effective January 1, 2016, for all members with annual earnings of $16,000 or more, the minimum dues shall be equal to $36.00 per month. Effective January 1, 2016, for all members with annual earnings between $5,500 and $16,000, the minimum dues shall be equal to $31.00 per month. Effective January 1, 2017, through January 1, 2020, the minimum monthly dues for all members with annual earnings of $5,500 or above shall be increased by $1.00 annually, effective January 1 of each year.”

As of January 2024, minimum dues for SEIU members are $44 per month. The SEIU Constitution also states that “a local union’s dues system shall not contain a maximum limitation on the dues amount per member…” (p38).
