It’s Time to Have a Voice at Work

You show up every day to deliver the public services our communities rely on. You solve problems, support families, and keep essential systems running. You deserve respect for that work.

But without a union, too many workers face unfair workloads, unsafe conditions, and decisions made without their input. The people doing the job are the ones left out of the conversation.

AFSCME puts the power back where it belongs: in the hands of workers.

By organizing together, AFSCME members secure:

Better pay and benefits
A fair process and protection on the job
Stronger safety standards and staffing
A meaningful voice in workplace decisions

Being a union member means standing with coworkers, fighting for fairness, and ensuring the work you do is respected and valued.

If you believe in dignity, fairness, and having a say in your workplace, you belong in AFSCME.

Authorization

I hereby request membership with and authorize Minnesota AFSCME Council 5 to represent me for the purpose of collective bargaining with my employer and to negotiate and conclude all agreements respecting wages, hours and other conditions of employment.

I recognize that my authorization of dues deductions, and the continuation of such authorization from one year to the next, is voluntary and not a condition of my employment.

Additionally, I hereby request and voluntarily authorize my employer to deduct from my wages an amount equal to the regular monthly dues applicable to members of Minnesota AFSCME Council 5, and further that such amount so deducted be sent to Minnesota AFSCME Council 5 for and on my behalf. This authorization shall remain in effect and shall be irrevocable unless I revoke it by sending written notice to both my employer and Minnesota AFSCME Council 5 during the period not less than sixty (60) and not more than seventy-five (75) days before the annual anniversary date of this authorization. This authorization shall be automatically renewed as an irrevocable check-off year to year unless I revoke it in writing during the above described window period, irrespective of my membership in the Union.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision hereof shall not affect the other provisions, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. By submitting this form, it shows that I agree with the terms above.

Signature

My electronic signature is a binding and valid signature. By signing here I agree to all of the terms and conditions set out in this authorization, which apply to my membership, dues payments and, if applicable, PEOPLE payments.
