Authorization to bargain

I hereby authorize the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (hereinafter the “International”) and/or its affiliated, Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters, to act as my collective bargaining agent for purposes of negotiating my wages, hours, terms and conditions of employment. This authorization applies to my present and future employer engaged in Carpentry work (including all Schedule "A" work classification of the Carpenter trade) to be performed within the territorial jurisdiction of the PNWRCC. With respect to Carpentry work to be performed outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters, I authorize the International and/or its affiliated Regional Council having territorial jurisdiction over such area to act as my collective bargaining representative. This authorization can be disclosed to my employer or to a third person for purposes of cross-checking against payroll records in order to verify the Union’s majority status under Section 9 of the National Labor Relations Act. If the Union so desires it can submit this card to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for the purpose of obtaining an NLRB certification election. This authorization shall remain in full force and effect until cancelled by written notice to the Union.
