[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the agency find out when you join the bargaining unit? I see that they communicate with personal email (I think?) but the form to join includes work email. I’m thinking just to verify but I don’t want emails from the union coming to my work email.

Your position is either BU or not: you can't choose. Your agency knows whether your position is BU or not. You union probably sends emails to all BU employees at their work addresses. The CBA applies to the BU employees whether you pay dues or not. By law, a certain amount of union communication is permitted at work.

Separately, you can choose to join the union and pay the union dues. They likely send members additional emails at work and/or home. The reason to join the union is to support their activities that benefit you, to bolster their negotiating position, and to get access to help/info only provided to members (what this is, varies). If nobody joins, they can't do anything to help everyone.

Right, I know. I am BU but I have not yet joined the union. (Only recently became eligible but not probationary.) Wondering if the agency knows who is BU-eligible vs dues paying. I’m sure none of it matters but I feel like it may not be looked upon favorably to join now.  [/quote]
