DUES: COMBINING OUR RESOURCES TO WIN
Union Dues
✔️Dues are 2% of our base wages (not including OT or differentials), and are capped at $125 a month for our highest wage earners.
✔️We won’t pay dues until we negotiate our first contract and it is voted on and approved by the 1199 members at Valera Health.
✔️There are no initiation fees for any employee hired before we vote for and ratify our first contract.
What do dues pay for?
Dues pay for the costs associated with improving our wages, benefits, job security, and working conditions, including:
✔️Experts that help bargain strong contracts.
✔️Growing our membership to increase our strength and protect our future.
✔️Our infrastructure: communications, research, legal, office and meeting space.
✔️Representation to protect our rights at work.
