This Authorization form is the first step in the process for representation but not union membership. The only way you become a union member is after winning a representation election, negotiating an employee-approved Collective Bargaining Agreement, and signing a dues checkoff form.

This authorization cancels any similar authority previously given to any other person or organization.
