Dimit

nounStandard termShop Slang

A formal resignation or withdrawal from a trade union or professional guild.

A formal written notice of withdrawal from a trade union, professional guild, or fraternal organization. Workers request a dimit to leave a local chapter in good standing, usually when transferring to another jurisdiction or leaving the trade entirely. Securing this paperwork prevents the accumulation of unpaid dues and allows for a clean return later.

I need to file a dimit with the local before I move out of state so they stop charging me dues.
