Be sure to request a Withdrawal Card when leaving your job, even though your leave may be temporary. The Withdrawal Card will benefit you if you are off for one full calendar month or longer. The Withdrawal Card tells us that you are off work for one reason or another and tells us to stop charging you the monthly union dues/fees until you physically return to bargaining unit employment. There is no charge for a Withdrawal Card, but a written request must be made and all dues and fees must be paid before the Withdrawal Card is issued. The Withdrawal Card does not change any rights or benefits you may or may not have under seniority, health & welfare or pension, but be advised that the Life Insurance Policy that the Local carries on your behalf is only in force for active paid up members.
It is your responsibility to obtain a Withdrawal Card. Withdrawal status of more than a 30 day period will be considered a break in service for eligibility to office. Please take care of this as soon as possible when you are off so that you will not be obligated to pay extra dues/fees. Failure to obtain a Withdrawal Card may cause you to pay back dues/fees and/or a reinitiation fee upon your return.
