Dear ACT members, hello from your National Treasurer.  As we continue to upgrade our DUES paying platform to streamline the process. I will be uploading instructions on here to best serve all our employee types and make adjustments to simplify the payment process.  I am working on the next level platform. More to follow! Keep The Faith!

eDues is the new way for union members to automatically pay dues.

Please all members must make the switch to eDues to maintain their membership and protect their union contract.

Why? 

Despite massive opposition from Federal workers across the US, the White House issued Executive orders which outlaws payroll deduction of Federal employees’ union dues.

The White House is trying to silence federal Labor Unions and roll back your Collective bargaining rights, but ACT won’t let them, as ACT continues to fight for you!!! ACT continues to represent you!!!
 Members like you are standing up for their Careers and protecting the gains won through their local ACT UNION contracts!

By choosing ACT eDues our members are saying loudly:

                                                                 I’M STICKING WITH ACT!

                                                                                KEEP THE FAITH!


As our eDues product matures and is improved, we are working towards restoring our dues process and allotments to align with how they previously worked with payroll deductions. This will re-establish ACTs Constitutionally directed dues processes and keep members in good standing. To do so, we have added a custom box that will enable you to input exact dues rates based on the percentage listed in the ACT Constitution (one-tenth of one percent ((.01)). If you were a member before payroll dues deductions ceased, you can see this amount as listed on your last Leave and earnings statement (LES/ pay stub).  The custom box, however, will not yet allow for reoccurring payments; the current software was not built that way.  That means you will have to revisit this website and pay every two weeks with the intervals of your pay weeks. We’re confident this is temporary as we are working with the Vendor to build to the next version of our eDues. As your Treasurer, I am working hard, compiling the information needed for that. In the meantime, I will work to keep things smooth and intuitive as I can. The flat rate boxes were initially created to get us up in and running in response to the White House Eo, as we progress to paying our appropriate dues amount these boxes will be discontinued.
