Notice to Our Security Officer members (Beck/General Motors Notices) The right by law to belong to the United Federation LEOS-PBA and/or any of its affiliated National Unions, Local Unions, Divisions or Affiliates and to participate in its affairs is a very important right. Currently, you also have the right to refrain from becoming a member of United Federation LEOS-PBA and/or any of its National Unions, Local Unions, Divisions or Affiliates. If you choose this option, you may elect to satisfy requirements of a contractual union security provision by paying the equivalent of an initiation fee and monthly dues to the United Federation LEOS-PBA and/or any of its National Unions, Local Unions, Divisions or Affiliates. In addition, non-members who object to payment in full of the equivalent of dues and fees may file written objections to funding expenditures that are not germane to the United Federation LEOS-PBA and/or any of its National Unions, Local Unions, Divisions or Affiliates duties as your agent for collective bargaining. If you choose to be an objector, your financial obligation may be reduced very slightly. Individuals who choose to file such objections should advise the United Federation LEOS-PBA in writing to our attorney at its business address noted below. United Federation LEOS-PBA will then advise you of the amounts which you must pay and how these amounts are calculated, as well as any procedures we have for challenging our computations.
