SF 4129 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Union members who are teachers permission to allocate union dues to the local, state, or national organization of their choice

This bill allows teachers in Minnesota to direct their union dues to the local, state, or national organization of their choice rather than automatically to the union that represents their workplace. It requires unions and employers to clearly notify teachers of this option and ensure payroll deduction forms explicitly state how teachers can allocate their dues. The legislation also mandates that public employers process these requests within 30 days and protects teachers from being forced to join a union or pay dues to one they do not choose.
