There is no initiation fee to join our union.

Union dues are 1.5% of your gross pay earned as an interpreter at DSHS, DCYF, and HCA-Medicaid enrollee appointments, up to a maximum of $86.99 per month. Travel reimbursements are not part of your gross pay.

Union dues are deducted from your paycheck by the statewide coordinating entity —currently Universal Language Services.

If you are not working regularly at DSHS, DCYF, and HCA-Medicaid enrollee appointments, you will be dropped from our union's membership roster. To maintain your union membership and benefits, you must sign up for a $16 monthly flat fee. When you begin taking DSHS, DCYF, and HCA-Medicaid enrollee appointments again, then you will be automatically switched back to the 1.5%.
