Here’s another great example of why relying on a union authorization card or membership card as a showing of interest is a terrible idea. An employee of a unionized grocer did not want to join the union. The helpful officials of the UFCW told him to just sign the membership card and write “Beck Decision” at the top so that he wouldn’t have to pay dues. They then promptly asked his employers to withhold dues from his paycheck. When he asked to have his Beck rights observed they then asked his company to fire him. Every employee considering unionization should read this story.
