It’s E tū policy that our membership fees increase each year on 1 April in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the previous year, ending in December.
This E tū fee policy was voted on by members when E tū was first established and is part of the union’s policy.

Solidarity Membership
Members may choose to upgrade their membership type, so that they are both a regular member and a Solidarity Member.
The Solidarity fee rate ($2, or $4 or $6 or $10 per week) is in addition to the regular membership fee rates.
For example, if a member (working 35 or more hours per week) upgrades to Solidarity membership for the $2 weekly amount, their fee total on or after 1 April 2026 would be $12.15 per week ($10.15 + $2 Solidarity upgrade).
