If I live in a Right to Work state, can I resign my union membership and cut off any further dues collections from my salary?

The answer to this question depends on whether you are a federal employee, private sector employee, railway or airline employee, state or local government employee, or public school teacher or college professor. It may also depend, of course, on whether you live in a Right to Work state. If you are not sure whether your state is a Right to Work state, you may wish to examine the list of Right to Work states.

If you are sure that you live in a Right to Work state and would like to learn about the right to resign from union membership and cut off further dues deductions, please select the category to which you belong:

  • Federal Employee
  • Private Sector Employee
  • Railway or Airline Employee
  • State or Local Government Employee
  • Public School Teacher or College Professor
    (Private school teachers and college professors should select “Private Sector Employee.”)
