Connecticut State Statute requires all individuals, as designated by their work titles, to be represented by a bargaining agent for collective bargaining. However, you must give affirmative consent to become a member of UCHC-AAUP. All members of UCHC-AAUP pay dues in the amount of 0.0063 (0.63%) of the first $300,000 of your annual salary, which is then automatically deducted from your biweekly paycheck.

Membership Authorization & Dues Deduction Authorization Form

MEMBERSHIP AUTHORIZATION: YES! I want to join with my colleagues and become a member of UCHC-AAUP. I hereby request and voluntarily accept membership in UCHC-AAUP and I agree to abide by its Constitution and Bylaws. I authorize UCHC-AAUP to act as my exclusive representative in collective bargaining over wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment with my employer.

DUES DEDUCTION AUTHORIZATION: I hereby request and voluntarily authorize my employer to deduct from my earnings and to pay to UCHC-AAUP an amount equal to the regular monthly dues applicable to members of UCHC-AAUP. This authorization shall remain in effect unless I revoke it by sending written notice to UCHC-AAUP within thirty calendar (30) days preceding the annual anniversary date of this agreement. This authorization shall be automatically renewed from year to year as long as I remain a member of the bargaining unit, unless I revoke it in writing during the 30-day window period.
