Union Dues

If National Nurses United (NNU) unionize nurse associates at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center you will be required to pay monthly dues to NNU. Dues are deducted from your after-tax take home pay.

Currently, NNU dues are 2.2 times your base hourly wage each month, up to a maximum of $170.22 per month.

For example, if you are a full-time RN and earn $40 per hour you would owe the union $88.00 per month or $1,056 per year. Over the course of a typical three-year union contract, you would pay nearly $3,200 in union dues.

For part-time/per diem RNs who are paid for 52 hours or fewer per month, dues are a minimum of $85.11 per month, which could add up to a minimum of $1,021 per year.

When your base hourly rate increases, so does the amount you would pay in union dues. And you could be forced to pay even more dues since NNU has the right to raise dues at any time.
