Use this article to clarify union fees for classified employees and/or adjust dues based on employee class.

Step-by-step guide

Classified (SEIU, UOPA, Teamsters) or GE employee receives a notification or information regarding the union and determine if they are going to join.
Union fees are assessed at the rates represented in chart below.
If an SEIU employee has signed up for contribution to the Political Action Fund, and additional amount will be collected. To stop this deduction, follow the same procedure as listed in step 4.
When an SEIU employee moves into an Unclassified position, an SEIU deduction (Associate Dues) will continue unless formally cancelled by the employee in writing. A letter must be signed and sent to:
