Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 503 is the designated union for public services and care providers, representing 72,000 people across Oregon.
For years, local government employees were required to pay union dues to SEIU 503 as a condition of employment and the city or county automatically deducted union dues from workers’ paychecks.
However, because of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Janus v. AFSCME (2018), local government employees can now demand that SEIU 503 cease withholding union dues/fees from their paychecks.
法院裁定强制缴纳会费的规定侵犯了工人根据《第一修正案》享有的言论自由和结社自由权利,并指出公职人员有权自主决定是否缴纳工会会费。

According to federal filings, union dues for SEIU 503 are 1.7% of members’ gross wages, plus a flat fee of $2.75 per month. In 2022, the average member paid $634 in dues.
Yes. SEIU 503 has arranged to be the “exclusive representative” of its bargaining units, meaning it is impossible for workers to get out of the terms of the contract, even if they cease paying dues.
No. Under state law, a union contract is binding on all employees in a bargaining unit, regardless of whether they are technically union “members.” Your compensation, benefits and conditions of employment are all set by the contract and will remain unchanged regardless of whether you are technically a union member and regardless of whether you choose to pay union dues.
No. Your health insurance and other employer-provided benefits will remain the same regardless of your union membership status.
工会已被州政府认定为谈判单位全体成员的"唯一代表",无论其是否为正式工会会员。作为获得这项特定服务垄断权的回报,工会负有相应的法律义务,必须提供公平代表。
While the terms of the contract will still govern your employment, union officials commonly prohibit nonmembers from participating in internal union affairs, such as attending union meetings, voting for union officers or participating in contract ratification votes. You’ll also be ineligible for certain “members only” benefits, such as discounts on additional insurance or deals the union has arranged with businesses, if any. You may no longer receive the union newsletter or similar publications.
