  • LOCAL 7 MEMBERSHIP AND DUES CHECK-OFF AUTHORIZATION

  • REPRESENTATION AUTHORIZATION

    I hereby authorize UNITE HERE Local 7 (“the Union”) to be my recognized or certified collective bargaining representative in all matters relating to my wages, hours and terms and conditions of employment at my current employer(s) and any future employers, and request and accept membership in the Union. I hereby agree to be bound by the Constitution of the UNITE HERE International Union and the bylaws of the Union.

    DUES CHECKOFF

    I hereby voluntarily request and authorize my employer to deduct from any wages or compensation due me, each and every month, the dues, initiation fees or reinstatement fees required as a condition of acquiring and maintaining membership in good standing in the Union, and I direct that the same be forwarded each month to the Union. This authorization shall remain in effect and shall be irrevocable unless I revoke it by sending written notice to both the Employer and the Union by registered mail during a period of ten (10) days immediately after any anniversary of the date of this authorization, or after the date of termination of the applicable agreement between my Employer and the Union, whichever occurs sooner, and shall be automatically renewed as an irrevocable check off from year to year, unless revoked as herein above provided irrespective of whether I am or remain a member of the Union.

    I acknowledge that I have received and read the Notice Regarding Union Security Clause and Dues/Fees Deduction Authorization, which is printed at the end of this page. I understand that I may request a copy of the notice before I sign this card and the notice will be given to me.

    • NOTICE REGARDING UNION SECURITY CLAUSE AND DUES DEDUCTION AUTHORIZATION

      As an employee working under a UNITE HERE Local 7 agreement containing a union security clause, you are required, as a condition of employment, to pay dues or fees to the Union. This is the only obligation under the union security clause. You do not have to actually become a member of the Union. Individuals who are members pay dues while individuals who are nonmembers pay an equivalent fee. This fee, which is authorized by law, is your fair share of sustaining your union’s broad range of programs in support of you and your co-workers, but nonmembers may file objections to funding expenditures that are nongermane to the Union’s duties as collective bargaining agent and thereby be obligated to fees representing expenditures germane to the Union’s duties as collective bargaining agent. Nonmembers have the right to be given sufficient information to enable them to intelligently decide whether to object, and to be apprised of, the internal Union procedures for filing objections. Individuals may obtain a description of the procedures, which must be followed to file such objections, and further information, by writing to Roxie Herbekian, President, UNITE HERE Local 7, 1800 N. Charles Street, Suite 500, Baltimore, MD 21201.

      Nonmember fee payers give up many benefits that only Union members receive. As a member you will have all the benefits and privileges of membership, including the right to fully participate in the internal activities of the union, the right to attend and participate in membership meetings, the right to participate in the development of contract proposals and to participate in contract ratification and strike votes, the right to vote to set or raise dues and fees, the right to nominate and elect Union Officers, the right to run for Union office and for convention delegate, and the right to receive the International Union burial benefit. The Union Privilege Program of the AFL-CIO, available to members, only offers Union members such services as: reduced rate Mastercard, reduced fee legal services, a prescription program with savings for long-term users of prescribed medicine, a mortgage program that allows Union members to receive reduced interest rates, a dental program, a lending program, and many other services available to Union members at lower rates.

      The authorization for dues deduction is voluntary. If you do not wish the convenience of this payroll deduction but prefer to pay your dues and/or initiation fees directly to the Local Union office each month, you may do so. If you do not sign the dues deduction authorization you must then pay your dues and/or fees to the Local Union by the 10th of each month.
