ELEVATING OUR FAMILIES
SECURING OUR FUTURE
STRENGTHENING OUR UNION
USWW MEMBERS DESERVE MORE
We need:
-
Better representation.
-
Support with quality of life issues.
-
Technology that makes it easier to get the support we need, when we need it.
What this will cost:
-
The majority of members would see a decrease in dues in 2025.
-
Weekly dues for higher paid members would go up by 69 cents a week in 2025.
-
By 2031, all members would pay the same rate of 2%.
VISION USww
We believe in the power of collective action to bring about meaningful change for each and every one of our members. That's why our Executive Board is urging members to vote YES on Vision USww, a restructuring of our dues to make them more equitable and to assure that we are able to modernize and serve members’ needs.
We've listened to your voices and understand your needs for stronger contract enforcement, improved communication, and support in crucial areas like housing, immigration, and legal assistance. In a rapidly evolving world, it's essential that our union evolves too, meeting the increasing demands of our members and ensuring everyone contributes their fair share. By restructuring our dues equitably, we can better serve you and continue advocating for your rights and well-being.
