If you do not owe back-dues and have signed the union card, your dues are deducted directly from your paycheck!
To pay back-dues or pay monthly dues manually, you can pay electronically by selecting the amount you owe and payment method on the right.
Paying the dues that you owe through this link will fulfill your contractual obligation under the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Dues rate: The current dues rate is $80.68 per month for the standard PhD stipend, or 2% of your monthly paycheck in other situations. The dues rate increases each August, remaining equal to 2% of salary following annual raises. If your situation warrants paying less than $80.68 per month, please email a copy of your paystubs to goldartmouth@gmail.com the first time you send your payment. We will only then verify that you have fulfilled your contractual obligation under the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
