This page provides a breakdown of dues paid to the AFT (national organization) and AFT Missouri (state organization). Members of local affiliates (locals) may also be required to pay dues to their local organization. The dues rate for all local affiliates is determined by the members of that local. Please contact your local representative for more information. AFT Missouri's dues structure is based on a four-tiered dues system which allows anyone to join and receive benefits/protections no matter their economic status. This is the best system for working families, as AFT Missouri's mission is to expand the employment rights of teachers, professionals, and public employees across the state. The following chart outlines the monthly and annual membership rates. AFT Missouri also provides this benefit to all members-at-large (those members not affiliated with a local). If you are joining a local affiliate of AFT Missouri, please contact the local representative to verify their participation or call AFT Missouri at 573-635-0073.
