How to become a DGSU Member

Being a union members means you have a voice in our organization, and a vote on the contract that we negotiate together. Dues are negotiated as a part of our contract, which allows the union to sustain itself and continue to fight on behalf of workers. SEIU’s Southern Region has some of the lowest dues in the county, which are capped at 1.5% of the salary that we negotiate.

The dues will only take effect once we sign our first contract, which will almost certainly include a pay raise far outweighting these dues.

Until our first contract, we sustain ourselves through associate member dues. To start paying $12/month dues now, sign up as an associate member below. These dues will be cancelled as soon as our contract dues begin.
