Benefits of Membership

We fight for better working conditions for all faculty, instructors and librarians regardless of whether they pay dues or not!

As a dues-paying member, you will also have a vote in organizational decisions and you can hold leadership positions. Dues pay for our legal funds and operating costs, as well as national and state-level affiliate support, and they are not used as stipends or other forms of pay for union leadership.
