I hereby authorize and direct Harvard University (“the University”) to deduct from my earnings—and to transmit to the Harvard Graduate Students Union-UAW Local 5118 (“HGSU-UAW”)—dues in the amount established or revised by HGSU-UAW in accordance with its constitution and/or bylaws. If for any reason the University fails to make a deduction, I authorize the University to make such deduction in a subsequent payroll period. HGSU-UAW is authorized to deposit this authorization with the University, and is authorized to redeposit this authorization with the University if my employment terminates and I am later rehired.

This authorization is entirely voluntary on my part, and shall be irrevocable and automatically renewed every year for successive periods of one year each or for the duration of each succeeding collective bargaining agreement between the University and HGSU-UAW, whichever shall be shorter, unless revoked by me by signed notice sent to the University and HGSU-UAW, and received by them not more than 20 days and not less than 10 days before the expiration of each period.
