Unemployed?

 

We need your help so that we don't loose touch with our unemployed members. Members from time to time are re-employed in different industries, or are employed at a location in the same industry, served by a different Local 701 representative. This makes it difficult for each representative to keep track of the members they serve.

 

To help us help you, Local 701 needs to know each month if you are still unemployed and looking for work in one of the industries that Local 701 represents.

Conditions of Issue

 

Section 3.  Members who are unemployed for the major portion of any month (the major portion of any month shall depend on the major portion of the regular working days in any month), and who suffer a total or proportionate loss of earnings, due to separation from employment, layoff or furlough, sickness or disability, are entitled to unemployment stamps for that month and are thereby excused from the payment of regular dues, upon complying with the following conditions :

 

They shall register their names and addresses in the out-of-work book or communicate with the  S.T., or business representative of the L.L. stating they are unemployed, or sick or disabled, any time within a two month period.  The matter of reporting is entirely the member's responsibility.
