I’m part of Unionen, and my dues are 235 a month. I’m also on their a-kassa for an extra 140. Thankfully I’ve not had to do much with either party, but I’m glad they’re there.
For Americans; I’m paying ~250$ a year for union and ~$150 a year for income insurance, should I end up losing my job.
How much are your dues?

Since you're a Swede you can read up on it here:

1.5% of salary before tax, minimum 230 SEK and maximum 633 SEK as of 2023.
Wow! That's better than the 700+ someone mentioned, but it still feels quite hefty!
