  Break in membership affects eligibility for union office, voting privileges
 Abreak in union membership status can have long-term future implications. Your membership status affects your eligibility with respect to:
• Seeking or holding union office;
• Signing nominating petitions for potential candidates;
• Voting in union elections; and,
• Voting on collective bargaining contracts.
Only members in “good standing” can participate in these activities. To be in “good standing,” your dues cannot be delinquent.
If you go on unpaid leave or
for any other reason have a break in your employment status, your dues will not continue to be paid through payroll deductions. You must make arrangements to pay your dues directly to CSEA to continue your membership status. If you are either laid off or placed on leave without pay status due
to becoming disabled by accident, illness, maternity or paternity, you may be eligible for dues-free membership status for a period not to exceed one year. If you are called up for active military duty you may also apply for dues-free status.
Note, however, you must continue to pay dues to run for office. Dues-free or gratuitous membership allows members to continue their insurance coverage while out of work. It does not protect your right to run for or hold office. This does not apply to members who are on leave due to being called up for military duty, who are considered to have had continuous membership status for election purposes.
Please notify CSEA Membership Enrollment and Administration
at 1-800-342-4146, of any change
in your status and to make arrangements to continue direct payment of your dues so as to maintain your status as a “member in good standing.”
