Dear Mr. Crosby,

This is a formal notification that I am resigning my position as Vice President of the IBEW Labour Union. I understand that by doing so I will lose all the rights and privileges that come with being an officer with the union. Besides leaving the position, I will be resigning my membership as well.

This is not a decision I make lightly. But as you know I have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is apparently in its late stages and I am looking at aggressive treatment that could include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

To say this situation has given me reason to reprioritize would be an understatement. I have devoted the last 20 years of my life to the educational system. That includes eight years acting as an advocate with the union. While I have no regrets, I have made personal sacrifices that I can no longer say were for the best of everyone, especially my family.

So as I approach this new challenge, I want to revisit old ones. But that means I make one more sacrifice and that has to be the time I have devoted to the union.

I hope everyone understands. I wish Local 37 the best in their ventures.

Best regards,

Felicity Weeks”

Sample 5:

“[insert your Name]

[insert your Mailing address]

[Date]

[insert Name of union]

[insert Address of union]

[insert Name of appropriate union officer]:

I hereby resign as a member of [name of union]. My resignation is effective immediately. I will continue to meet my lawful obligation of paying a representation fee to the union under its “union security” agreement with [name of employer].

Furthermore, I object to collection and expenditure of a fee for any purpose other than my pro rata share of the union’s costs of collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment, as is my constitutional right under Abood v. Detroit Board of Labour, 431 U.S. 209 (1977). Pursuant to IBEW Labour Union v. Hudson, 475 U.S. 292 (1986), I request that you provide me with my First Amendment procedural rights, including: reduction of my fees to an amount that includes only constitutionally chargeable costs; notice of the calculation of that amount, verified by an independent certified public accountant; and notice of the procedure that you have adopted to hold my fees in an interest-bearing escrow account and give me an opportunity to challenge your calculation and have it reviewed by an impartial decisionmaker.

[If you pay dues by payroll deduction, include the following: Accordingly, I also hereby notify you that I wish to authorize only the deduction from my wages of representation fees limited to those costs that are lawfully chargeable under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. If I am required to sign a form to make that change, please provide me with the necessary form.]

Please reply promptly. Any further collection or expenditure of dues or fees from me made without the procedural safeguards required by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution will violate my civil rights under the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1871, 42 U.S. Code § 1983, and the U.S. Constitution.

Finally, please consider this objection to be permanent and continuing in nature.

Sincerely yours,

[name]

cc: [name of employer]”
