The Industrial Workers of the World is a membership organization. Monthly dues are determined by your income. All members have equal rights: election of officers, votes in meetings and union-wide referenda. Members who are in good standing (dues paid up and a member for a particular amount of time depending on the office) are eligible for office.
Dues structure:
- Minimum Dues = $11.00 (US) per month – if you make less than $2,000.00 (US) per month;
- Regular Dues = $22.00 (US) per month – if you make between $2,000.00-$3,500.00 (US) per month;
- Maximum Dues = $33.00 (US) per month – if you make more than $3,500.00 (US) per month.
- Initiation fee is payable only one time, and is equal to your dues.
Once you become a member of the IWW, you are expected to keep your membership dues current. You must pay your dues to an IWW delegate, unless you opt into credit card payments on iww.org
Delegates are dues paying members of the IWW elected by their branch, shop, industrial union, or appointed “at large” where no IWW branch, shop, or local industrial union office currently exists. You may pay dues for as many months in advance as you wish.
The best way to maintain your dues is to stay in touch with a Bellingham IWW delegate.

Industrial Workers of the World Whatcom-Skagit Branch 
I am 73 years old and I want to join the IWW because I’ve never had a chance to join a Union and the IWW is the best.
We are retired. My husband is blind. Is there a way a could join for reduced dues?
