SEIU Wisconsin is a business with a major source of revenue: its members.
Even though employees in Wisconsin cannot be forced to join a union or pay dues, many who are represented by a union end up joining and paying dues, fees, special assessments, and fines. The union will want to take a cut of your paycheck and is free to do what it wants with those funds without your approval.
Dues are 1.65%
According to SEIU Wisconsin’s bylaws, dues for 2026 are set at 1.65% of biweekly or monthly wages. The dues percentage is scheduled to increase to 2% over the next several years, reaching 2% by 2029.There are differing amounts for the union’s minimum and maximum dues amounts.
- The union’s bylaws set a minimum dues of $20 per month and a maximum of $175 per month for 2026. As with the dues percentage, the maximum dues amount is scheduled to increase each year, reaching $205 per month by 2029. The $205 monthly dues cap in 2029 is not the final cap – it is scheduled to increase by $5 per month every year after that.
- However, the union’s financial document indicates union dues can range from a minimum of $14 per month up to $160 per month.
