Billy I was in union shops most of my working life, also some years in open shop. Each has its good points & some bad points, but that is not the topic today. Union affiliation can be changed, but there are certain steps to take. With less than 2 weeks until contract expires, it might be too late to make a change now. I presume that negotiations for new contract, or extension of current contract are in progress. To de-certify your current union, an election must be held, supervised by NLRB (National Labor Relations Board). There are federal rules about how much time between notice of election & actual election. Majority rules. If the members vote to de-certify, then an election can be called for new representation. Again, there are rules about time between notice & actual election. Between you, me & the fence post, if I were in your situation, I would vote to extend the existing contract , with no changes, for six months. That would give enough time for the process to work its way through. Keep in mind, that at the end of contract, if not extended, you have the right to strike, & the employer has the right to lock out, unless you are considered to be providing critical services such as fire fighters, law enforcement etc.
