Want to resign from the SEIU? Â It’s not easy to find out how!
Overall, private sector union members are decreasing substantially. But it’s not easy to leave.
To wit, there’s no  SEIU  info  available  in their Constitution and Bylaws  how to resign union membership  on their main web site.  Wonder if this is so? Take a look at:

The National Right to Work website says that  union employees in the private sector who want to resign from membership should:
1)  read the union’s  Constitution and Bylaws to find out who to notice.  And then
2) send a letter giving notice to both the union and employer
3) effective immediately with this process the former union member’s pay check should be bigger.
Let’s take SEIU 521 for example.  They are located at 2302 Zanker Road, San Jose, CA 95131.  Their phone is 408 678-3300.  That number refers people to Monterey and to contact  a Christopher Cox.
Why is there no central SEIU website with information so that members can know exactly how to resign? Â All members have the right to resign. Question is how.
 It should be easy to know how to pay Fair Share fee  (for collective bargaining related costs) and no more.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), a federal agency responsible for administering private sector labor law, has repeatedly ruled that such policies are unlawful. According to Foundation attorneys, the SEIU’s convoluted resignation policy conforms… Read more »
