Re: Membership Resignation and Dues Check-off Revocation
Dear Sirs:
I am employed by_______________________________________in a Right to Work state. Effective immediately, I resign from membership in the UAW union and all of its affiliated unions.
Since I have resigned my membership in the union, you must immediately cease enforcing the dues check-off authorization agreement that I signed. That check-off authorization agreement is hereby revoked. I signed that check-off authorization solely in conjunction with, and in contemplation of, my becoming a member of the union; and, as such, it is no longer valid. See IBEW (Lockheed Space Operations Co.), 302 NLRB 322 (1991); Wash. Gas Light Co., 302 NLRB 425 (1991) (employer in Right to Work state must cease dues deduction upon receipt of resignation/revocation).
If, for any reason, you refuse to accept this letter as both an effective resignation and an immediately effective dues check-off revocation, I ask that you promptly inform me, in writing, of your reasons for so doing, and send me a copy of the actual dues check off authorization form I signed.
