On average, only about 16 percent of annual union dues paid by members in 19 Massachusetts public school districts stayed with local union chapters. The remaining 84 percent of dues revenue went directly to the state (Massachusetts Teachers Association) and national (National Education Association) union affiliates. But what about public higher education in Massachusetts? For unions representing faculty at the Commonwealth's community colleges, state colleges and universities, and the University of Massachusetts system, the dues revenue structures are also hierarchical. Individual university unions remit a substantial portion of their dues revenue to state and national-level organizations. This brief report takes a closer look at teacher union dues and public higher education in Massachusetts.
