Glad to hear you're looking to join the union. It's a great move for your career.
The process is pretty simple. You need to fill out a Form 1187, which is the Authorization for Dues Deduction. You can get this form from your shop steward or another union officer in your office. The national website also has a copy of it that you can download.
Once you complete the form, you'll turn it in to a union officer or your shop steward, and the dues will be automatically deducted from your paycheck. The dues are very reasonable and a portion of them go to your local union.
If you have any trouble getting a hold of a form or finding a representative, you can always reach out to the MHU Local 305 Office directly. Our phone number is 804-358-4664.
Welcome to the fight!
