Now that we’ve ratified our contract and secured wage increases and a tuition reduction we are switching from the old union card (which did not include dues) to becoming full dues paying members of our union! If you previously signed a union card that did not include dues deduction you need to sign the new card to be a union member: Collecting dues allows us to pool our resources to continue to effectively fight for and defend NMSU graduate workers. Your dues will be 1.44% of your bi-weekly pay.
