This is a bit old but to the point. It is about the unionization of UPS.
National Agreement Between Teamsters Union and UPS Illegally Undermines Right to Work Laws | National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation
This is the teamsters contract. Wording is written into the contract mandating union interference in free choice. It clearly shows how they pressure new employees to join. They call it "encourage."

Again if it is NOT a requirement to join a union to work for an employer why pressure them into doing just that.
DUES!
I would consider this kind of personal information about me given to a union member VERY intimidating as a new hire. Especially since there is no NEED or requirement to join the union if you do not want to.
Consider what your name, address AND social security number could do to you if out there? Do you give that information to anyone on the street who asks for it? Here it is written into a teamsters union contract demanding personal information about new hires.
Article 3 section 2a
Consider this. In a state that is right to work where joining the unions is NOT mandatory, the union has it written into a contract with the employer that they are REQUIRED to recommend that they become union members.
WHY?
Article 3 section 2b
Dues. Make no mistake unions are about DUES.

Business agents and/or a steward shall be permitted to attend new employee
orientations in the right-to-work states. The Employer agrees to provide the
Local Union at least one week’s notice of the date, time, and location of such
orientation. The sole purpose of the business agent or steward’s attendance
shall be to encourage new employees to join the Union. The steward shall
