Q: How do I know if my position is in a bargaining unit exclusively represented by a union?
A: You need to know your job title to determine if your position is in a bargaining unit. If you don't know your job title, you can find it on your paystub or by asking your supervisor. When you know your job title, go to the Title and Pay Information page. Enter your job title in the field under "Search by job title." Click Submit and you'll see a chart that shows if your position is represented by a bargaining unit or not.
A: No, you aren't automatically a member of the union. You must join the union to become a dues-paying member. If you are in a bargaining unit that is exclusively represented by a union, you must pay an Agency fee if you choose not to join.
