Dues inquiries

Employees with questions or concerns about their dues deductions should contact their union representative. Preliminary contact information can be found on each contract’s dedicated page. Please take a moment to read the article that applies to dues deduction; you may also want to review your membership agreement.

UW is unable to start, stop, or reinstate dues deductions without notice from the union that represents your position.

If you need additional information, please reach out to Laborrel@uw.edu.
