Recently the General Committee office has received numerous inquiries as to how an employee seeking to return to the UTU (now belonging to the BLET) would go about having their BLET dues stopped to join the ranks of the UTU once again.

Updated instructions have been sent to each Local Treasurer with regards to the “Certified Mail Revocation of Payroll Deducted BLE Dues” form used by employees seeking to transfer their membership back to the UTU from the BLET.  Employees seeking to return to the UTU from the BLET should use these updated forms in the future as there is a new CSXT contact person – Pat Muttillo. 

The letter and forms can be viewed and copied here.

Judging from past experience, the General Committee recommends that the “Certified Mail Revocation of Payroll Deducted BLE Dues” form be sent to the BLET Treasurer “Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested” in case there is a dispute in the future as to when the BLET treasurer was advised of the member’s intent to transfer back to the UTU.
