Autopay is having your dues taken directly from a credit/debit card or bank account, rather than having them taken out of your paycheck through payroll deduction.
Why Switch to AutoPay?
Anti-Labor interest groups and politicians throughout the nation have been working to make being a union member more difficult by employing “union-busting” policies. One of those policies is making payroll deduction against the law. Such laws have been attempted in Utah several times, but have yet to pass. While we currently have the right to have payroll deduction, and will continue to fight for that right, we also want to prepare for the possible future. By switching over to AutoPay now, it will make such a transition more smooth if the time ever comes.
