    Hi,
    I signed up to Siptu about a year ago and dont really see the point in being in the organization any more. Can anyone tell me how to leave it?

    Stop paying your subs?

    I don't think this is a legal matter. As already said, stop paying subs and/or letter of resignation.

    Constitutionally, Bunreacht na hEireann guarantees right of freedom of citizens in workplace to join/form unions - which has been affirmed in the courts as also guaranteeing a right of freedom to dissociate. Any troubles if you go ahead and resign - and I wouldn't expect there will be - point out the relevant legal cases.

    (I must admit, personally, I think as a very general principle are more benefits to staying in a union, if it is the norm in a particular workplace/position/rank).

    +1 I believe this case concerned an employee of CIE who held a position in which all of the people in that grade were members of one union. The employee resigned from the union and was sacked.

    The High/Supreme Court held that the right to disassociate was a natural extension of the right to associate.

    From the thread title, I imagined they had you tied up in the basement of Liberty Hall...

    It's not a cult, phone them or send a letter/e mail quoting your member number etc expressing your wish to cancel membership.

    Tell your payroll people to stop deducting the subs, simple.
