Re:  Agency Fee Objection

Dear Agency Free Administrator:

This letter invokes my rights under the CWA’s Policy on Agency Free Objections and United States Supreme Court’s decisions, such as Communications Workers v. Beck, Ellis v. Railway Clerks, Abood v. Detroit of Education. I wish to reduce the "dues" or agency fee that I owe to my prorated share of the CWA’s costs of "collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment," as defined by the courts and the settlement agreement in Abrams v. Communications Workers. I object to extractions for any other purpose. This objection is permanent and continuing in nature and, pursuant to the revised objection policy posted on CWA’s website, should be honored for as long as I remain in this bargaining unit.

Please see that my legal rights are fully and promptly protected.

Sincerely yours,
