Membership Authorization

Yes, I want to join my fellow workers by becoming a member of MSEA-SEIU Local 1989! I request and voluntarily accept membership in SEIU Local 1989 and its successors or assigns (collectively “Local 1989”). This means I will receive the benefits and abide by the obligations of membership set forth in both Local 1989’s and the Service Employees International Union’s Constitutions and Bylaws. I authorize Local 1989 to act as my representative in collective bargaining over wages, benefits, and other terms/conditions of employment with my employer, and as my exclusive representative where authorized by law. My membership will be continuous, unless I resign by providing notice to Local 1989 via U.S. mail (or other method if permitted by Local 1989’s policies). I know that union membership is voluntary and not a condition of employment, and that I can decline to join without reprisal.

Dues Deduction Authorization

By signing below, I hereby request and authorize my employer to deduct from my earnings and to pay to MSEA-SEIU Local 1989 an amount equal to the periodic dues uniformly applicable to members of the Union in my bargaining unit. Dues amounts may change from time to time in accordance with the requirements of the Union’s Constitution and Bylaws. This authorization shall remain in effect unless I revoke it by sending signed written notice to the Union and my employer during the periods not less than 30 days and not more than 45 days before either (1) the annual anniversary date of this agreement, or (2) the date of termination of the applicable collective bargaining agreement between the employer and the Union. This authorization is voluntary and is not a condition of my employment, and I can decline to agree to it without reprisal. I understand that all union members benefit from everyone’s commitments because they help to build a strong union that is able to plan for the future. Authorization also ensures that I will be considered current in my dues throughout the duration of the authorization.
