About Union Authorization Cards
You may be asked by a colleague or union representative to sign a union authorization card—whether on paper, or digital. Signing a union authorization isn’t like signing a petition. Instead, signing a union card may commit you to becoming part of the union.
Authorization cards are legally binding. After signing a card, the union could gain the ability to serve as your exclusive legal workplace representative. This could even take away your right to change your mind later or make a final decision in a secret ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board.

Signing a union card is much more than asking for information. Make sure you know the facts before you sign.
