Required Dues Could Exceed $2,000 a Year – Exceeding $6,000 Over a Three-Year Contract

If you were unionized, nurses in the bargaining unit would be required to pay dues, often exceeding $2,000 per year. Over the life of a typical three-year contract, these dues can add up to over $6,000.

This is due to a provision known as a “union security” clause. This clause requires represented nurses to pay dues or fees to keep their jobs. It is non-negotiable and, if included in a contract, the union can require the employer to terminate anyone who does not pay union dues.

Ask yourself: Is it really worth paying NNU and giving up a portion of your paycheck to keep your job?
