Active members comprise the bulk of our membership. They are members who are currently employed by school boards or other education employers and who pay active member fees to OSSTF/FEESO. These union dues are currently 1.6% of gross earnings (plus local levies where applicable), comprised of 1.3% allocated toward operations, and 0.3% that is allocated to the MPA (Member protection Account) and are deducted automatically from your pay cheque. Because it is a percentage-based fee, OSSTF/FEESO union dues are geared to your income level. In addition, union dues are also tax deductable.
