What is the purpose of a "membership card" issued by the IBEW?

The purpose of a "membership card" issued by the IBEW is to signify a member's status and entitlements within the organization. This card serves as a key identifier for members, reflecting their affiliation with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. It provides various benefits associated with membership, including the ability to participate in union activities, access specific resources, and uphold member rights within the labor framework.

Having this card demonstrates not only membership but also the commitments made to the union's principles and the rights to the benefits that come with being a member, such as collective bargaining and representation. It is an essential component of union membership that secures the member's place within the union's structure and resources.
