Dear [Union Officer]:

I am employed by _______(employer)________. [If you are currently a union member, include the following: Effective immediately, I resign from membership in the local union and all of its affiliated unions.] I hereby revoke the dues check-off authorization agreement that I signed.

I have now met the requirements to revoke the dues check-off authorization agreement under federal law and as set forth in the agreement.

If you refuse to accept this letter as an immediately effective dues check-off revocation, I ask you to promptly inform me, in writing, of the reasons you believe this letter does not constitute an effective dues check-off revocation..

Sincerely,
