NLRB Beck Notice
Dear workers represented by SEIU Healthcare Michigan,
As a member of SEIU Healthcare Michigan, you are entitled to certain member-only benefits, the most important of which are the right to attend Union meetings, including meetings to discuss new contract proposals, ratify the contract, and to vote for Union officers. THESE RIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE ONLY TO UNION MEMBERS.
If you elect or have elected not to join the Union and thereby limit your obligation to the Union to the payment of agency fees, you have the right to refrain from providing financial support to union activities not germane to collective bargaining and representation. If you have provided notice of your intent to limit your obligation to the Union to payment of agency fees, the Union has reduced your fees proportional to the percentage of the Union’s total expenditures that are not germane to collective bargaining and representation. This is identified as a “fair share fee.”
SEIU Healthcare Michigan has determined that the current fair share fee is 81% of regular dues. Union dues are 1.75% of monthly pay, with: a minimum of $27.50 per month a maximum of $61.00 per month (full-time) or $33.50 per month (part-time). Agency (fair share) fees are 1.4175% of monthly pay, with: a minimum of $22.28 per month a maximum of $49.41 per month (full-time) or $27.14 per month (part-time) (You can view the financial calculations here).
The fair share fee has been calculated based on the Union’s expenditures for collective bargaining, grievances, arbitrations, contract administration, and representation, as well as other relevant matters affecting the terms and conditions of your employment.
In Solidarity,
Charlesetta Wilson, President, SEIU Healthcare Michigan
