The part about dues sounds about right. doitwithoutdues.com was Amazon's anti-union propaganda, so they had every incentive (and looking at the website the shamelessness) to exaggerate union dues. Yet, the number they came up with was only $500 per year.

- Jensson 5y agoDues tend to be about 1%. 1% of an Amazon software engineer total compensation could go to $3000.
- smnrchrds 5y agoSo to break even, a union has to cause wages to be higher than the non-union situation by 1%? That seems simple enough to do. I would be very surprised if the vast majority of unions don't earn their keep tenfold. I worked for a company with two plants, one unionized and the other one not. For the same job, the unionized plant paid approximately 20% more than the non-unionized one for the same jobs. A 1% due rate would have been a steal of a deal.
