If someone asks you to sign a union authorization card, First ask them… 1. How would the union help expand or secure additional Medicaid and/or other State funding? 2. Is the union willing to give you a signed written guarantee with specific wage and benefit increases in exchange for your dues, knowing that all such changes require negotiation with management? 3. Will the union share a copy of the union’s constitution and bylaws, so you can see all the rules members are required to follow, how decisions are made, how dues are set, and how members can have a say in union leadership and priorities? 4. Isn’t it true that Local 888 would try to negotiate a clause to take members' dues directly out of paychecks? 5. Isn’t it true that Local 888 would try to negotiate a union security clause that requires every DSP to be a member of the union in order to be employed with AHRC Nassau?

Know the facts… Signing a union authorization card is legally binding! It’s not just a show of interest – it’s a formal step toward union representation. Before you sign anything, make sure you do your homework – • Understand what it means, • Know what you’re committing to, and • Know all the ways it could impact you at work… Not just what union organizers want you to believe! Don’t sign a union authorization card without seeing the full picture. Management is ready to share information with you – All you need to do is ask!
