JOINING THE CAW
STEP 1
Call a CAW representative in your community. They'll answer your questions about how our union works and what it can do for you.
You have the legal right to join a union.
STEP 2
Each province and the federal government have laws covering your right to join a union.
To join you must sign a CAW membership card.
The Union Membership Card you sign is confidential. Only the Labour Board sees the cards. Your employer never sees the cards or a list of who has joined the union.
STEP 3
A majority of the people in your workplace sign CAW membership cards.
Each province and the federal government has laws regarding the exact percentage of workers who must sign cards. Your CAW representative has a thorough knowledge of the law, and can provide more information.
STEP 4
When the CAW national staff organizing representative has enough cards an application to represent you is made to the Labour Board.
STEP 5
The Labour Board reviews the application and will either order a vote or certify the union automatically depending on the province.
STEP 6
Once your certificate is issued, you elect your bargaining committee.
