EMPLOYEE AUTHORIZATION FOR
CARD  CHECK  RECOGNITION 

 
I hereby join with my fellow workers in organizing a Union to better our conditions of life and secure economic justice.  I have voluntarily accepted membership in the Communications Workers of America (CWA), AFL-CIO and declare that this Union shall be my representative in collective bargaining over wages, hours and all other conditions of employment.
 
I understand that if CWA presents cards for recognition signed by more than 50% of the employees eligible to be in the bargaining unit, SBC Telecom, Inc, (d.b.a. Cingular Wireless) will recognize CWA as the bargaining representative of this unit without a representation election being conducted by the National Labor Relations Board and SBC Telecom, Inc. will bargain with CWA concerning the terms of my employment and my working conditions.
