Dues & Eligibility
How Much Does an AFGE Membership Cost?
- AFGE is a democratic organization in which the members of each Local decide the Local's dues structure.
- On average, AFGE members pay between $18 - $22 per pay period for union dues.
How Do I know if I’m Eligible to Join AFGE?
- Government employees are eligible for union membership if there is an AFGE-affiliated union at their worksite.
- If you don’t know if AFGE is at your worksite, visit this page and select the AFGE District where you work. Contact the National Vice President’s office and tell them you’d like to join, but aren’t sure you are represented.
