MEDICAL NOTES FOR DUES OFFICE ONLY –
NOT FOR WELFARE AND PENSION BENEFITS
Local 13 has implemented new changes to the policy structure pertaining to medical notes as they relate to the DUES OFFICE, effective January 1, 2020. These new changes have nothing to do with the ADA process or welfare claims for hours toward pension years.
- Medical Notes will need to be received by the Dues office no later than 60 days of receipt of the note in order to receive the reduced dues rate.
- Medical Notes received after 60 days will NOT be eligible for reduced rates.
It is the members’ responsibility to turn in their notes timely, as well as to contact the Secretary/Treasurer or Dues Office immediately if they feel there is a Dues discrepancy.
SELF SURVEY
- Have you ever taken an elevation before the official start time of your shift?
- Do you drive to a job site and place gear inside equipment to hold for yourself hours before the shift?
- Are you one who has disregard and no respect for another’s right to a fair shot?
- Do you check in before the official start so you can get a good break?
- Are you negligent about correctly adding your hours?
- Is your excuse, everyone else is doing it, so I might as well do it too?
- Do you circumvent the Dispatch Hall?
- Are you part of a group covering for each other’s miss-doings?
- Do you kiss up to supervision to get perks?
- Are you unfair to your union brothers and sisters?
- Do you neglect to cover your reap until it fills?
- Are you picking up reaps and then showing up at a ridiculous time?
- Do you resolve issues with disrespectful language and/or violence?
- Do you reap a job on an initial start, then pick up another job before your reap is filled?
- Do you reap a job after being on a comeback, then pick up another before your initial job has finished?
- Do you check-in early before the completion of your job once released by the employer?
- Do you actively aid in the manipulation of low board sequence?
- Do you constantly try to correct your hours once dispatch has started?
If you answered YES to any of the above – you are breaking union rules. Shaping up, chiseling and cheating is scab behavior.
DO YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR JOB, YOUR UNION AND YOUR FUTURE? RESPECT YOURSELF, YOUR FELLOW UNION BROTHER/SISTER AND YOUR UNION! YOUR ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN YOUR WORDS! UNITED WE WILL CONTINUE TO STAND STRONG!
Fraternally,
Ray Familathe Gary Herrera Mark Williams
