Union Dues: Base & Working Dues

NOTICE: BASIC DUES PER CAPITA INCREASE OF $1.00 Effective July 1, 2025

BASE DUES

Effective July 1, 2025 - BASE DUES are $25.00 per month for "BA" Members and Agency Fee Payers & $48.00 per month for "A" Members.  This Per Capita Due increase was voted on by the Delegates of the 40th IBEW International Convention held in May 2022.

WORKING DUES

Working Dues are 1.25% of base earnings or the required Minimum Working Dues of $20.00. Your Working Dues will change anytime there is an increase in your base earnings. For example, an employee who earns between $0 & $1,600.00 in a month, BASE & WORKING DUES totaling $45.00 are owed ($25.00 + $20.00). When earning are over $1,600.00 a month, use 1.25% of your base earnings to calculate WORKING DUES owed and add the Base Dues amount of $25.00.
