If your workplace is interested in joining NoBAWC, applying for membership is easy! 

If your workplace qualifies for NoBAWC membership (see "Membership Requirements"), contact NoBAWC at: dave@nobawc.org or (510) 482-4547 to request a membership application.  If you are not sure or have questions, we would be happy to talk with you. 

Workplaces interested in NoBAWC membership need to mail a completed membership application to NoBAWC.  Upon receipt of the application, a NoBAWC staff person will contact the applying workplace to confirm that NoBAWC has received the application.  The Board will review the completed application and contact the the workplace with any questions. 

Applications must be approved by the membership at a general NoBAWC meeting.  At a general NoBAWC meeting, the Board of Directors will introduce the application and offer its opinion on whether or not the workplace satisfies NoBAWC’s membership requirements.  Then, a representative from the workplace will briefly speak about their workplace with an emphasis on how decisions are made.  The membership will ask questions and then decide to approve or reject the application.  The process is usually quick because any uncertainties will be worked out by the Board and applicant prior to the general membership meeting.

When the application is approved at a general meeting, the applicant will pay dues, receive NoBAWC membership cards for all its regular workers and become a NoBAWC member workplace.
