Yes. If RCMMA joins the Society, your dues will increase from $25.00 per pay cheque to 1% of gross income up to a cap of $52.64 (the maximum dues rate is $26.32/week). When the affiliation takes effect, RCMMA’s existing assets will be used to fund a union dues transition plan, allowing dues to increase gradually according to the following schedule:

• Present - March 31, 2027 - no change to union dues
• April 1, 2027 - March 31, 2028 - increase to 0.85% of gross income
• April 1, 2028 - increase to 1% of gross income (or maximum dues rate)

Check out your dues rate in the schedule here.

There are no additional fees associated with joining the Society or being a member of the Society. Membership fees for organizations we wish to be a part of such as the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour and Regina & District Labour Council, will be covered at no additional cost to members.

Dues are democratically decided upon by the membership of the Society. As per the Society Constitution and Bylaws, the maximum dues rate will increase each April 1 by the weighted average of the economic increases the Society negotiated for its members during the fiscal year prior to each April 1. The maximum dues rate for fiscal year 2026 is $26.32/week. This dues formula was set through and can only be amended by a constitutional referendum supported by two-thirds of members that vote.

Union dues are tax deductible.
