I authorise the TEU (or any successor organisation) as my sole representative to settle, subject to ratification, a collective employment agreement binding on the TEU and my employer in relation to me.

I give the TEU sole authority under sections 18(3) and 236 of the act to represent my individual rights as an employee, and to exercise any other rights and powers given to me under the act or otherwise in relation to my employment.

I agree that my rights and obligations relating to bargaining and representation under the act or otherwise shall be exercised and carried out in accordance with the TEU rules and policies.

In accordance with TEU policy, I agree that the TEU is not obliged to act on my behalf in any matter that arose prior to this application.

I authorise the TEU to hold and use any information that I provide for any purpose that is in accordance with stated TEU objects.
