May labor organizations provide notification to new members through Form SF 1187 (Request for Payroll Deductions for Labor Organization Dues)?
A. The signing of the SF 1187 provides a good opportunity to notify individuals of their rights as union members. Form SF 1187 is the standard form used by unions to sign up new members and the form by which employees authorize their agencies to deduct funds from their salaries and transmit the funds to the union for payment of their dues. While providing such notice in conjunction with the Form SF 1187 does meet the requirement for labor organizations to notify new members of their rights, the Department does not require this method of notification. Other forms of hand delivery, as well as mail and/or e-mail, are appropriate if reasonably calculated to reach all new members.
