LASPA’s monthly dues are listed below, based on rank. The amount is divided and deducted bi-monthly.
In the event that a criminal case is brought against a member related to on-duty conduct, your dues include enrollment in our Criminal Defense Plan, which provides you with legal defense costs, including attorney fees. Please refer to our LASPA Representation Form for further details.
The US Supreme Court ruled in Janus v. AFSCME on June 27, 2018, that unions could no longer collect mandatory “fair share” fees to cover the costs of collective bargaining. This means that you are not required to pay dues to a bargaining union (e.g. ALADS or PPOA) in addition to your LASPA dues. Your health insurance will not change if you decide to drop them. HOWEVER, if you have CAPE insurance, you are required to retain ALADS or PPOA (whichever is your bargaining union) in addition to LASPA or you will be dropped by the insurance.
