BIG NTEU NEWS!
Keep an eye on your home email addresses:
A lot of you have been asking us when dues withholding is going to start up again. Well, that's not going to actually happen until we finally win our court case against the executive orders excluding the union rights from federal employees like us.
But in the meantime, NTEU is taking action to make sure that your union remains equipped to defend your rights.
Members have been sent an e-mail from National NTEU at the home email addresses we have on file. If you have not provided one, please contact the Chapter at [email protected].
The e-mail has a personalized link to the new Direct Pay Dues collection website.
You can use credit cards, debit cards or bank accounts to set up recurring dues payments. The union recommends you use your bank account.
The dues rates are NOT being raised; they will be whatever they were last year when dues stopped being withheld in the spring.
Just to address a few questions:
* Yes, the website will be securely protected; NTEU is committed to keeping your money and your identity as safe as we are to keeping your rights safe.
* No, you cannot share the link with anyone else; part of that commitment to keeping you safe is the fact that every link we send in every e-mail will be personalized only to the recipient.
* No, you do not run the risk of having any double payments when we finally win the court case and dues withholding is started back up. Built into the system is a mechanism to immediately stop payments as soon as that happens.
* NO, you will NOT be charged for any back dues missed while dues withholding was not being taken out.
The reason we are doing this is to ensure that NTEU is properly equipped to keep protecting your rights, even in these challenging times; your dues--the bulk of which go toward paying legal fees and arbitration fees--will make certain that the protection of our members is not in jeopardy.
(If you joined the union over the past year, you will probably not see an e-mail just yet; that will be coming in the next phase of the mailing list rollout, please be on the lookout for your email)
If you have any questions, or if you don't get an e-mail, just reach out to Chapter 16 at the email address above.
We stand together in unity and are only as strong as our membership!!! The fight continues.
