We are proud to have you as a new member of our union. With the support of all of our members, we as a local union shop will exhaust your rights to the fullest extent. Under law, every worker in your bargaining unit must be treated equally. Contact your president and become involved! The names and phone numbers of the executive board will be on a list given to you with this welcome packet.
Your dues and initiation fee payment will be deducted from your paycheck after a check-off authorization card has been signed by you and received by our treasurer. At that time you will be entitled to all of the benefits and privileges of your membership.

Sincerely,
Gilbert Huertas
President
