Does anyone know anything about the unionizing method "card checks"?
539480
Unions have you sign a card, either requesting info on said union, or in support of the union.  A card check means they take the cards signed, whether they were signed for union info or to support it, and they count the cards as a "yes" vote for the union.  Its an easier way for the union to get into the workplace, as it skips the voting process.

Savers have unions -- they're called credit unions. What other kind of union are you asking about? Labor unions?

mlewis51 is correct, they do forge papers.  My mothers former employer didn't even know they had an illegal working for them until his family had a fire in their apartment so he was out of work for a few days dealing with the red cross and temporary housing.  During this time Social Security called them up and they found out he was using 3 different people's social security numbers, none of them belong to him & he was an undocumented worker who was here illegally.  The company tried to contact him to see if he was coming back to work and all of a sudden he fail off the face of the earth, couldn't call him, find him, nothing.\n\nThe website that mlewis51 listed is a very good organization to look up in regards to illegal immigration.  You really should check it out!  I get information via email from them all the time, I try to help out when and where I can, etc.  It is very informative!

Not usually.  Read your policy.  It's typically for being laid off.\n\nCredit card protection is insurance...they make money, they don't help you.

simply tell the union that you want to stop paying dues,might get beat up for being a scab though

Without further details, perhaps The National Labor relations Board would be a starting point:\nhttp://www.nlrb.gov/nlrb/home/default.asp

The computer system there, although antiquated, does have some safeguards built in. When filling out your membership application, if you supply a credit card, once its entered in, NO employee can see anything but the last 4 digits and the expiration date. The rest of the information is visible. Some things require a managers password in order to edit them or change them. Once your membership application is complete, it's set in a stack until the next morning, where the information is verified by the opening manager and then locked in a cabinet for a minimum of 3 months in case a dispute arises. Some stores NEVER destroy them, some stores destroy them on day 91. The ONLY approved method of destroying is to shred them. Anyone not shredding them can be fired.

check with the store first, then call the card company.

Technically legal, definitely unethical! They imply they are the fast/inside track when all they do is fill out the forms that anyone can do for themselves. \n I requested the specifics of their program in Irish...below was their response.\n  Note the price in the last line for filling out the forms!

You need to start with the department of labor.  They will investigate this for you for free and make an attempt to get your money for you.  Then you can also contact the United States Department of Labor if you are unable to resolve this on a state level.  Contact the US Secretary of labor Elain Chao  http://www.dol.gov/

It is is a fairly common belief, so you'd think that the website for the U.S. Treasury Bureaus would answer this somewhere, wouldn't you? While I found much information about how to replace mutilated currency, I found no official law about defacing currency listed anywhere on the U.S. Treasury Bureaus site, nor the one for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, or even the U.S. Mint. With this lack of solid information from our beloved bureaucrats, I have to rely on common sense and a bit of deductive reasoning. Given the fact that many laws outright defy both of these, do not take this answer as legal advice.\n\nMy first clue that defacing currency in and of itself may not be a crime comes from penny arcade machines across the country. At many museums, zoos, and assorted tourist traps you can drop a perfectly useless penny into a machine, turn a crank and be rewarded with a stamped flat bit of copper featuring a squished Lincoln head and the logo "I visited Treefrog, Arizona." As common as these are, I'm reasonably certain that if defacing coins like that were illegal, these machines wouldn't be out there. They'd be hidden in the back room with the slot machines instead! \n\nNow what is most certainly illegal is if you alter a coin or a bill in such a way as to obscure it's denomination and then attempt to pass it off as one of higher value. You also can not circulate an altered bill for advertising purposes. (Presumably this means you could write "Eat At Joe's" on a dollar bill and keep it at home, hidden in a closet somewhere; pulling it out late at night to chortle to yourself over your evil deeds, but even if this was strictly illegal you could do this anyway.) \n\nBottom line: Feel free to put those coins on the railroad track, write "Clinton sucks" on all your dollars, or light your cigars with hundred dollar bills. Just don't try writing some extra zeros on a ten and try passing it off as a Franklin down at the Walmart.

I agree 100% with you, but lets take it one step further. In libraries and community building machines like automatic teller machines could be placed and from time ballot was printed till 8 o'clock election day you could enter your voting card get paper ballot an envelope vote at your leisure put it into envelope, and with magmatic voting card deposited it to be collected and counted election night. This would end 3 hour time problem. Biggest problem would setting up system to prevent counterfeit collection boxes from being put into system, but with GPA tracking it could be overcome. Primaries could also be done this way if you were allowed to pick you party day you voted.

Unfortunately it appears to be a scam or at least according to Habitat for Humanity:  \n\nThis is a quote from a page about Check Scams:\n\nPreventing Fake Check Scams - Fraudulent/Counterfeit\n"How it Works\n\nShortly after submitting your resume to CareerBuilder.com, you will receive a notification via e-mail of a company seeking a "donations processor", "money handler", etc. etc. The notification appears to come from CareerBuilder.com. Once you respond to the notification showing interest in the position, you are then e-mailed a link to a (fake) contract and asked to sign it and return it via fax.\n\nWithin a few days of signing the contract, you will receive a FedEx envelope containing a Cashiers Check in the amount if either $4500 or $7500. The company representative will contact you via e-mail asking the status of the funds. Your bank will release the funds prior to actually verifying the legitimacy of the cashiers check.\n\nOnce you tell the representative that the funds are available, he will send you the names of who to wire the money to. He will give specific instructions on how to send the funds, as a "personal" transaction, not a "professional" one, he will very likely give you 2 different names (both in Ukraine) and tell you to keep 7% for your commission and use the remaining amount for wire fees. You will also be instructed to not send the funds via online.\n\nDays later, you will be notified by your bank that the cashiers check is counterfeit. You could possibly be facing felony fraud charges and your account bank account can/will be closed and all assets frozen.\n\nYou will find that e-mails sent to the representative are getting rejected as not sendable. The website may even disappear off line and be active under a different name."

There is a lower rate available for accepting government cards  - like a full 1% lower. My family works in construction and we set it up last year. E-mail me if you want contact info.

(1) Misuse of retirement funds.  (2) Unfair picketing or other strike tactics.  (3) Dishonest voting procedures.\n\nOh; were you talking about the government being the bad guys, and not the union?  Sorry.
