For members
Check and Pay Your Union Dues
Your union dues, clearly shown in your member account. See what's paid, what's owing, and pay it from your phone.
-
Paid or owing, at a glance
Your standing and the month you're paid through, kept up to date by the office.
-
Pay in a tap
No adding the union as a payee at your bank, no guide to follow.
-
Dues and Blue Cross self-pay, side by side
Two separate payments, both in one place, so neither gets missed.
-
Your Membership ID, always there
With every receipt, ready for tax time. No email to the office to confirm it.
