Job Dedusctions

Are we allowed to deduct for union dues again? If so where does it get entered?

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you are preparing a return for a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return  to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses

aren't they considered unreimbursed employee expenses? union dues are related to a profession that requires membership.

@Chattyme Union dues have not been deductible on a federal tax return since 2017.  Re-read the reply you got----there are a few states in which you can get a deduction for union dues on your state return.
