Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By signing the authorization card, Cindy has authorized Teamsters Local 79 to be her collective bargaining agent in negotiations with Stellar Snowboard. This means that she has given the union the right to negotiate wages, benefits, and working conditions on her behalf. Option A is also true, but it is not as specific as option B. Option C and D are not necessarily true, as Cindy may not have authorized automatic deduction of union dues or political lobbying.
