Local 1914 Wiscsonsin State Employees Union Membership Dues Structure

New Wisconsin legislation eliminates employer deductions of union dues from paychecks of public employees.  Membership represenation and dues are voluntary.
Effective July 2011, voluntary dues are $16 per paycheck if you earn less than $13 per hour; dues are $18 per paycheck if you earn more than $13 per hour.                    
Effective 3 September 2011, only members who  pay dues are represented by Local 1914.  Contact an officer 
or steward or Council 24 for options available to continue to support efforts to keep your Union and Council strong and funded.  
Membership strength is key to take back and protect our rights as workers and regain our voice at work.
