Authorization for Withholding of Voluntary Contributions to the Political Action Fund of the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers

I hereby voluntarily authorize my employer to deduct from my salary the sum selected above and to forward that amount to the Union’s Committee on Political Education (COPE). COPE will use the money contributed to make political contributions and expenditures in connection with federal, state, and local elections. This authorization is not a requirement for union membership or employment, and I am signing it freely and voluntarily. This voluntary authorization may be revoked at any time by notifying the Union in writing of my desire to do so. Contributions to the Union’s Committee on Political Education are not deductible as charitable contributions for Federal Income Tax purposes and can be made only by union members who are U.S. Citizens or Legal Permanent Residents.
