 Is signing an auth card still important? Yes, by signing an authorization card you are joining a majority of your colleagues in the Band I & II analyst ranks who have already signed, thereby broadening our support by saying that you feel that having an election for a union is important.

Once you have completed the Authorization Card, you can mail it to IFPTE (address below), or give it to the GAO colleague who recruited you. If you have completed a printed card, DO NOT MAIL IT UNLESS YOU PUT IT IN A LARGER ENVELOPE. The Post Office has been mishandling the printed cards so that they are not arriving at IFPTE..

Completed Authorization Cards are confidential and will only be seen by IFPTE, GAO analysts organizing the campaign and - when we are ready to file for a union election - the PAB. By law, the PAB cannot share information on Authorization Cards with GAO management. |
