Updated UAW membership card
In settlement of NLRB Case 8-CB-10545 we have revised and updated the Application for Membership card. It was alleged that certain prior language may have created the impression that union members could not file charges at the NLRB or resign from membership. The new updated language explains that the UAW is designated as the exclusive collective bargaining representative with respect to wages, hours and terms and conditions of employment. No effect has ever been or ever will be given to the old and outdated language.
