NTEU members paying via payroll

NTEU members NOT paying via payroll
deduction:
You have the option of donating 50c each fortnight to Union Aid
Abroad-APHEDA at the same time you pay your NTEU fees. This
option is available whether you join using our national
membership form or via the join on-line facility - just look for
the Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA section on the form.
