Dear [insert Name of appropriate union officer]:<\/p>\n
I am employed by [Name of employer] in the Right to Work state of Michigan. I write to notify you that I do not want to be a member of the union. If your records indicate that I am currently a union member, I hereby resign my membership in the union and all of its affiliates effective immediately.<\/p>\n
I also notify you that I want to pay only those union dues and fees that I can be lawfully compelled to pay as a condition of my employment under Michigan law, and nothing more.<\/p>\n
Thus, if I can currently be lawfully compelled to pay union fees as a condition of my employment, I hereby object to the collection and expenditure by the union of any fee used for political, ideological, organizing, or other nonchargeable purposes, as is my right under CWA v. Beck<\/i>, 487 U.S. 735 (1988) and Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson<\/i>, 475 U.S. 292 (1986). This objection is permanent and continuing in nature. I also revoke any dues deduction authorization that I may have signed that authorizes the deduction of full union dues from my paycheck, and authorize only the deduction of reduced service fees.<\/p>\n
If and when I cannot lawfully be compelled to pay any union dues and fees as a condition of my employment under Michigan law, I no longer want to pay any dues or fees to the union. As of that date, I revoke any dues deduction authorization that I may have signed, and no longer authorize the deduction of any union dues or fees from my paycheck.<\/p>\n
If you refuse to accept this letter as an effective resignation, objection and\/or revocation, please inform me promptly, in writing, of your reasons for so doing.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
