Request a Withdrawal Card

Members who change occupations or are no longer actively employed (ie. attending college or other obligations for a period of time) shall be issued a withdrawal card provided they are in good standing with current dues paid and other financial obligations fuilfilled.

Withdrawal cards should be secured immediately, and now are available by simply sending an email to wcards@ufcw1500.org. Securing a withdrawal card means that you will no longer have to pay dues while you are not working in the industry; also that you will not have to pay a new initiation fee if you return to Local 1500 in the future.

You can either send a letter to UFCW Local 1500: 221-10 Jamaica Avenue, Queens Village, NY 11428

Send an email to wcards@ufcw1500.org with the following content in the email:
