Protect Your Union Membership Switch to Autopay today!

Anti-education politicians are considering legislation to weaken our union by mandating educators switch from automatic payroll deduction to maintain union membership. Luckily, switching to Autopay is an easy and quick one-time process.

Our union membership gives us a collective voice to advocate for the things that matter to us—our students and schools. 

Together, we have had many wins across North Carolina over the years; however, not everyone wants us to succeed. Anti-public education politicians in North Carolina see our union as a threat to their corporate donors, their extreme agendas, and their political ambitions. They are using every tool they can to weaken our voices, including eliminating our ability to pay our dues through automatic payroll deductions.

A simple legislative change could cancel your membership if you do not switch your dues payments from automatic payroll deductions. Protect your membership because it protects you.

Switching to AutoPay is: Easy, Quick, and a One-Time Change. 

Autopay is a convenient way to pay dues through automatic deductions from a checking or savings account, credit card, or personal/bank check. AutoPay is done through a secure bank site, keeping your financial information private and safe. 

It’s a simple switch that only takes a few minutes. Your annual dues amount stays the same; just the method of payment changes. Sign up once and you’re done!
