Stay Current & Covered With IBEW Local 401 Dues

At IBEW Local 401, being an active member means more than showing up to the job—it means standing in solidarity, maintaining your eligibility, and supporting the benefits that protect your future. One of the most important things you can do to uphold your union standing is to pay your dues on time. And now, we’ve made it easier than ever to do just that with our online union dues payment system.

Whether you’re at home, on the job, or on the go, you can log in and submit your payment quickly, securely, and without hassle. No waiting in line, no need to mail a check—just click, pay, and you’re covered.

Why Timely Dues Matter

Union dues are the financial backbone of IBEW 401. These funds directly support the operations and protections that benefit every member, including:

  • Contract negotiation and enforcement
  • Grievance support
  • Legal representation
  • Apprenticeship and training programs
  • Health and safety initiatives
  • Political advocacy to protect labor rights
  • Scholarships and community programs

Most importantly, dues ensure your eligibility for job calls, benefits, and union representation. Falling behind on dues can put your standing at risk—and potentially delay or disqualify you from work opportunities.

Membership Has Its Perks

When you’re up to date on your dues, you have full access to everything your membership provides:

  • Eligibility for dispatch and job calls
  • Participation in union votes and meetings
  • Access to healthcare, retirement plans, and other benefits
  • Representation in workplace disputes
  • Involvement in committees, mentorship, and community events
  • Access to training and continuing education
  • You’re not just paying for protection—you’re investing in your future, your family’s well-being, and the strength of your brothers and sisters in the field.
