Union Membership & Dues Deduction Authorization Form

YES! I choose to be a union member. I understand my membership supports the organization advocating for my interests as a bargaining unit member and as an individual. ASEA negotiated labor contracts result in better wages, benefits and working conditions. Union strength is a reflection of its membership. Being a member makes the union more effective for everyone. ASEA membership is opt-in and paying union dues is not a condition of employment. By submitting this form I choose to be a union member.

What are my dues, anyway?

Member dues are calculated on Base Wage per Pay Period according to a progressive formula starting at $4.62. Overtime is not Base Wage and so does not increase dues. Check out the ASEA Member Dues Calculator for more information.

Are you a Park Ranger?

Invalid Input

State Park Rangers are eligible for legal defense fund (LDF) coverage through PORAC when they become ASEA members.

The LDF benefit adds $2.77 per pay period to your union dues (see above). Electing PORAC Plan II coverage for civil and criminal actions is voluntary and requires a one-year commitment that runs concurrent with your ASEA membership, auto-renewing annually unless cancelled.

**LDF coverage from PORAC is currently in process. Dues deductions for LDF benefits will not take place until PORAC Plan II coverage is in effect.**

Please sign to accept and authorize the terms of your union membership.

I hereby apply for or commit to maintain my membership in ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 and I agree to abide by its Constitution and Bylaws. By this application, I authorize ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 and its successor or assign, (hereafter referred to as ASEA or the “Union”), to act as my exclusive bargaining representative for purposes of collective bargaining with respect to wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment with my Employer.

Effective immediately, I hereby voluntarily authorize and direct my Employer to deduct from my pay each pay period, regardless of whether I am or remain a member of ASEA, the amount of dues as certified by ASEA, and as they may be adjusted periodically by ASEA. I further authorize my Employer to remit such amount monthly to ASEA. My decision to pay my dues by way of payroll deduction, as opposed to other means of payment, is voluntary and not a condition of my employment.

This voluntary authorization and assignment shall be irrevocable, regardless of whether I am or remain a member of ASEA, for a period of one year from the date of execution or until the termination date of the collective bargaining agreement (if there is one) between the Employer and the Union, whichever occurs sooner, and for year to year thereafter unless I give the Employer and the Union written notice of revocation not less than ten (10) days and not more than twenty (20) days before the end of any yearly period. This card supersedes any prior dues authorization card I signed.

Payments to the Union are not deductible as charitable donations for federal income tax purposes. However, they may be tax deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses.
