For the first time ever, CCPU has created a dues structure to reflect our values of equity and our commitment to the future.
Our member leaders endorsed a new dues structure that ensures financial stability so our union can fight to win the wages and benefits child care providers desperatly need. In this structure, the dues rate will be 1.5% of gross subsidy pay, with a monthly maximum payment of $90. A year later, along with the ratification of our next bargaining agreement, the rate will increase by 0.5% for a total of 2% with the same monthly maximum payment of $90.
When we began the path to our union over 20 years ago, we set out with a clear and uncompromising goal: to better the lives of child care providers, the children in our care, and our communities. And together, we have won victories that have changed the face of child care in California:

Now we are ready for bigger challenges—and bigger rewards. Together, we can build financial security for a stronger, self-sufficient union that will deliver more historic wins!
