YES! I want to be a union member. I support advocating for quality services and good jobs. I understand that by
becoming a WFSE union member I will make our union stronger to protect jobs, public service employees and
the services we provide!
I authorize and direct my employer to deduct from my pay each pay period, regardless of whether I am or remain a member of the Union, the
amount of dues as set in accordance with the WFSE Constitution and By-Laws (currently 1.5% of my salary each pay period, not to exceed the set
maximum). This authorization shall be irrevocable, regardless of whether I am or remain a member of the Union until terminated by me by written
notification to my employer with a copy to the WFSE in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement.
No I do not want to be a union member. I understand that I am giving up the right to participate in union activities, trainings,
and events. I will be unable to vote to accept (or reject) my union contract or proposed changes in wages and benefits as a
result of negotiations, and to vote in union elections or for union officers. I will not be eligible to participate in unionmanagement meetings regarding my workplace concerns. I will not be eligible for member-only benefits.
I understand that by choosing NOT to become a WFSE union member I still must pay a union representation fee. As a non-member I authorize the deduction from my earnings each
payroll period of the union representation fee in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement and as allowed in RCW 41.80.100.
