With this card and my signature, I request and accept membership in the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) and I agree to abide by the APSCUF bylaws. I authorize APSCUF to act as my exclusive representative in collective bargaining over wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment with Pennsylvania's State Systems of Higher Education (STATE SYSTEM).

Effective immediately, I hereby voluntarily authorize and direct the State System to deduct APSCUF membership dues or their equivalent from my pay each pay period, regardless of whether I am or remain a member of APSCUF, the amount of dues certified by APSCUF, and as they may be adjusted periodically by APSCUF. I further authorize the State System to remit such amount monthly to APSCUF.

This voluntary authorization and assignment shall remain in effect, regardless of whether I am or remain a member of APSCUF, for a period of one year from the date of the execution of this authorization or until the termination date of the collective bargaining agreement between the State System and APSCUF, whichever occurs sooner, and for years to come, unless I give the State System and APSCUF written notice of revocation during the fifteen (15) days before the annual anniversary date of this authorization or, during the fifteen (15) days before the date or termination of the appropriate collective bargaining agreement between the State System and APSCUF, whichever occurs sooner.

This authorization shall automatically renew as an irrevocable check-off from year to year unless I revoke it in writing during the revocation period, even if I resigned my membership in APSCUF. This authorization shall be valid while I remain employed by the State System in the APSCUF bargaining unit, unless I notify APSCUF and the State System in writing during the revocation period that this authorization is revoked. I recognize that my agreement for the continuation or automatic renewal of my authorization for dues check-off, even if I have resigned my membership, is voluntary and not a condition of employment. Union dues may be tax deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses.
