I recognize the need for a strong union and believe everyone represented by our union should pay their fair share to support our union’s activities. I hereby request and voluntarily authorize my employer, when and only when I am on its payroll, to deduct from my earnings and to pay over to CIR an amount equal to the regular weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly dues (1.6% of base pay) uniformly applicable to members of CIR, SEIU. This authorization shall remain in effect unless I revoke it by sending written notice via email or U.S. mail to the Committee of Interns and Residents, SEIU during the month of July of any year of my employment or within fifteen days before or after the termination of the applicable collective bargaining agreement between my employer or CIR. This authorization shall be automatically renewed from year to year unless I revoke it in writing during a window period, even if I have resigned my membership in CIR. If a court or governmental agency should find any provision of this card to be unenforceable, this shall not impair the validity or enforceability of the remaining language.
This authorization is voluntary and is not a condition of my employment, and I can decline to agree to it without reprisal. I understand that all members benefit from everyone’s commitments because they help to build a strong union that is able to plan for the future.
Dues, contributions, or gifts paid to CIR are not tax deductible as charitable contributions.
