When you sign a Union Card do you get a copy of the card you signed? Does the Union card state the dues required to pay and the process of joining? Do people that don't speak English well require a witness to sign to verify they understand what they are signing?

The cards are kept on file at the local office, a copy can always be requested.

$1 per hour on $30 and less wages seems like a pretty big tax for representation. 3-5% of income seems like a lot for the services

This is another part that doesn’t add up. Dues are only deducted after a collective agreement is ratified. Unless they managed to get one done in 2 months time, which for a first agreement seems unlikely.

I'm very interest in how this one plays out through the courts.

Based on what is stated in the article I’m not sure it will get very far in the courts. But as with anything there are likely more details we’re not aware of. These employees have every right to decertify, so I’m a little puzzled as to why they aren’t doing so if the majority of them do not want to be in a union.

I really don't like the no private vote instant certification. It certainly leaves the process open to intimidation whether or not it occurred.

I can see your point, although there are provisions to prevent this from occurring, but I’m sure you’re aware the elimination of a vote eliminates the ability for the employer to intimidate their employees leading up to the vote.
