Upon ratification of the contract, the base membership dues for ONA are calculated at a yearly rate. The dues deducted are shown here before any applicable BU or CA fees or special reduced dues discounts for which you may qualify.
ONA Membership: 1.4% of wages calculated on all
straight-time hours worked with a maximum of $43.57 per pay period*
* Dues will not be charged until after the first contract is ratified.
Membership includes ONA, AFT, local ONA Constituent Association, Oregon AFL-CIO, ON-PAC, NU-PAC, and bargaining unit assessment where applicable. Please send a letter to ONA if you do not want a portion of your dues to go to ONPAC and/or to NU-PAC and instead direct ONA to deposit that amount in the ONA General Fund.
ONA members shall be considered delinquent and rights shall be forfeited upon failure to pay dues or fees as required by current policy. No monies shall be refunded or additional monies collected retroactively when a change of dues category is made within a membership year.
You have the right to refrain from becoming a member of the Union. If you choose this option, you will be able to satisfy requirements of a contractual union security provision, if any, by paying the equivalent of monthly dues to the Union. In addition, non-members who object to payment in full of the equivalent of dues and fees will be able to file written objections to funding expenditures that are not germane to the Union’s duties as your agent for collective bargaining.
