Non-Core Dues

Sign your Non-Core Dues form here.

Under legislation (Rand Formula), all employees of the bargaining unit are required to pay core union dues (1.2% of earnings), and your union (MSU) has an obligation to negotiate your collective agreement and fairly represent the members of the bargaining unit in workplace matters. Recently, the Alberta Government implemented additional legislation (Bill 32) requiring unions to:

Specifically disclose to their members the amount that the union spends on non-core causes like charitable and political causes (MSU has always shared and sought membership approval of the MSU budget and annual audited financial statements), and;

Only utilize funds for non-core activities from members who have individually opted-in to contribute towards these.

At the General Membership Meeting of the MSU in the Fall of 2020, a motion was presented and passed to set optional non-core dues at $0.50 per pay period. These non-core dues will be used to continue support of scholarships and bursaries for dependents of our members, minor charitable donations (eg: Edmonton and SAMU food banks),sponsoring periodic Retirees of MacEwan events (ROMU) and membership in organizations like Public Interest Alberta.

Please note that the non-core dues amount has been set as small as possible in the hope that MSU members will continue to support these important causes. Employees may also revoke their decision to support non-core dues at least annually by notifying MSU.
