Protect Your Union Membership Switch to AutoPay today!

Anti-education politicians are considering a new bill to weaken our union by attacking our rights to choose automatic payroll deduction to maintain union membership. Luckily, switching to Autopay is an easy and quick one-time process.

Protect Your Union Membership

Our union membership gives us a collective voice to advocate for the things that matter to us, like our students and schools. 

Together, we have won changes across Louisiana that improve our daily lives. 

However, not everyone wants us to succeed. Anti-public education politicians in the Pelican state see our union as a threat to their corporate donors, pet projects and political future. During the 2025 legislative session, they plan to weaken our voices by effectively eliminating our ability to pay our dues through automatic payroll deductions.

Due to proposed legislation, if you do not switch your dues payments from automatic payroll deductions, your union membership may be canceled. 

Sign Up for AutoPay

Switching to AutoPay is: Easy, Quick, and a One-Time Change. 

AutoPay is a convenient way to pay dues through automatic deductions from a checking or savings account, credit card, or personal/bank check. AutoPay is done through a secure bank site, keeping your financial information private and safe. 

It’s a simple switch that only takes a few minutes. Your annual dues amount stays the same; just the method of payment changes. Sign up once and you’re done!

Signing up for AutoPay is easy and essential for every LAE member to protect our union. Anti-public education politicians think they can legislate away our voice by attacking our rights. However, we won't let them weaken our power to change the lives of our students.

Make sure anti-public education politicians can’t take away your union membership.

Here’s what you’ll need to switch to Autopay:  

  • Make sure you have your bank information or credit card ready, including the routing number if you will use a checking or savings account.
  • You'll also need your Member ID and zip code. If you've set up a website account, your Member ID can be found on your account page. Your membership number is on the back of your LAE Voice magazine, or you can reach out to 1-800-256-4523.

Helpful Tips:  

  • Make sure you use the back button on the portal instead of on your browser.
