Dues and Fees

Dues and Fees

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.
