To Whom It May Concern:

I hereby resign my membership in the Michigan Education Association and all of its affiliates (collectively “Union”), effective immediately.

If I cannot lawfully be required to pay dues or fees to the Union as a condition of my employment because I am covered by Michigan’s Right to Work law, I hereby notify you that: (1) I do not want to pay any dues or fees to the Union; and (2) I revoke any authorization that I may have signed that permits the deduction or collection of union dues or fees from me.

If I can lawfully be required to pay dues or fees to the Union as a condition of employment because I am not yet protected by Michigan’s Right to Work law, I hereby notify you that: (1) I permanently and continually object to the collection and expenditure of a fee from me for political, lobbying, organizing, and all other nonchargeable purposes, as is my right under Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, 431 U.S. 209 (1977); (2) I demand my procedural rights under Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, 475 U.S. 292 (1986), including the required financial reports; and (3) the moment I am no longer required to pay dues or fees as a condition of employment, I want the Union to cease charging and collecting all dues and fees from me, and effective that date I revoke any authorization I may have signed that permits the deduction or collection of union dues or fees from me.

If you refuse to comply with my requests, please inform me promptly, in writing, of your reasons for so doing.

Sincerely,

Signature: _______________________
