MEMBERSHIP, DUES PAYMENT AND DUES DEDUCTION AUTHORIZATION
YES, I want to join with my fellow employees and be
a committed member of the Local Association, the California Teachers Association (CTA), and the National
Education Association (NEA). I hereby request and voluntarily accept membership in these associations and agree to abide by the Constitution and Bylaws of all
three associations, as they may be amended from time to time. I support the Local Association in its role as my exclusive representative in collective bargaining
over wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.
I hereby (1) agree to pay annual dues uniformly required for membership in the Local, CTA, and NEA; and (2) request and authorize my Employer to deduct from
my pay in each pay period, and transmit to CTA or its designated agent, a pro rata portion of the annual dues required for membership in the Local, CTA, and NEA,
unless I pay dues by check. I fully understand that the dues required for membership in the three associations are subject to periodic change by the associations’
governing bodies and authorize dues payment on a continuing basis, and regardless of my membership status, unless my obligation to do so ends under one
of the circumstances below. This agreement to pay dues continues from year to year, regardless of my membership status, unless: I revoke it by sending written
notice via U.S. mail to CTA Member Services, P.O. Box 4178, Burlingame, CA 94011, not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the annual
anniversary date of this agreement; my employment with the Employer ends; or as otherwise required by law.
I understand that this agreement is voluntary and is not a condition of employment and that I have the legal right not to sign this agreement.
Your Advocate. Your Partner. Your CTA.
