“Unions give workers holidays, maternity leave, weekends off, and no longer 12 hour workdays.”
– Carla, PSW
“I feel secure. If I make a mistake, I have a union to represent me.”
– Fritzie, RPN

How much does it cost to join a union?
It’s only 1.95% of your pay & absolutely 100% tax deductible
No Hidden Fees
You only start paying dues after we help you finalize a contract with your employer. There are no hidden fees or other charges.
A Coffee A Day
Let’s put things in perspective: to get all the benefits and advantages SEIU Healthcare has to offer, you pay 1.95% of your pay, which is equal to the price of a daily cup of coffee.
Fees Are Capped
We understand that you sometimes make more money due to scheduling and hours. You won’t always have to pay higher dues because $99 is the maximum possible monthly fee.
“We have a collective agreement that the employer has to abide by. That’s what the union does, it protects me and my rights.”
