Your Dues in Action

Dues are an investment that come right back to you through good contracts, quality education, and a wide range of union services.

It takes resources to run a strong and effective union. Union dues give us the power to fight for our rights.

Where Each Dues Dollar Goes

As a member of the USW, you have a say in where your money goes. You oversee how your dues are set by electing your delegates to the International Convention. You also determine how dues are administered by participating in local union meetings so that your local union spends its money according to your priorities.

Financial controls ensure that the membership oversees all spending. Local union and International books are audited regularly.

The Power of a Dollar

Whether it’s supporting organizing efforts, building out our strike and defense fund, facilitating high-quality member education or providing specialized services, here’s how each dollar of your dues drives the USW forward.
