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 / month. Travel reimbursements are not part of your gross pay. Union dues are deducted from your paycheck by the statewide coordinating entity, currently ULS and previously CTS LanguageLink, which replaced the 6 brokers and 20+ language companies in 2012.
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 keep supporting our union and reap its benefits (e.g. free workshops), you can sign up for a $16 monthly flat fee. When you begin taking DSHS, DCYF, and HCA-Medicaid enrollee appointments, then you are switched back to the 1.5% automatically.
There is no initiation fee to join our union. Our monthly union dues are allocated approximately as follows:
68% AFSCME Council 28 (WFSE)
23% AFSCME International
8% Interpreters United Local 1671
1% AFL-CIO Federation of unions
AFSCME International and AFSCME Council 28 (WFSE) financial reports are available to the public and posted online on the US Department of Labor website.
Local 1671 financial annual reports are posted on our website under the Members Only tab. To access the Members Only tab, please send an email to Local1671[at]gmail.com requesting a username and password.
