I hereby join with my co-workers to improve our working conditions and our lives. I authorize the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) to represent me for the purposes of collective bargaining with my employer over wages, benefits, working conditions and other terms and conditions of employment. I understand Volkswagen employees will elect a bargaining committee of our coworkers to negotiate the contract and that I will not pay dues or fees until a contract has been democratically approved by Volkswagen workers. I also understand that if a majority of employees sign authorization cards, the company can recognize and start bargaining with our union.
