UFT Dues

Notice of Dues Changes
In accordance with the provisions of the resolution adopted by the UFT membership in referendum on Dec. 14, 1983, the following dues rate for members of the United Federation of Teachers has been adjusted to become effective February 18, 2025.
As approved by the UFT Executive Board and the Delegate Assembly on October 6, 1999 and November 3, 1999, UFT members’ dues were reduced to .85 of one percent of the maximum salary of Step 8B plus L20 as defined in the teachers’ contract. Where the 8B plus L20 is not applicable, a similar reduction will be affected but not less than the minimum dues rate.
- UFT members shall have a dues rate determined on the basis of .85 of one percent of the salary of Step 8B plus L20 in their title in the bargaining unit, but not less than the minimum dues rate. Where there is no maximum salary of Step 8B plus L20 for a title in a bargaining unit, dues shall be based on .85 of one percent of the individual member’s compensation limited to Step 8B plus L20, but not less than the minimum dues rate.
- Change in Dues Structure: As approved by the UFT Executive Board and the Delegate Assembly on October 4, 1989, UFT members whose annual salary is less than fifty percent of the minimum full-time salary in their title in the bargaining unit shall have a dues rate determined on the basis of .425 of one percent of the maximum salary, limited to Step 8B plus L20, in their title in the bargaining unit plus fifty percent of the pass-through.
Members of the UFT Retired Teachers Chapter who joined the Chapter prior to July 1, 1984 shall continue to have their dues rate determined on the same basis as now. Effective for members who joined the Chapter on or after July 1, 1984, the dues rate shall be determined on the basis of .4 of one percent based on their retirement allowance.
