TO ANY MEMBERS WORKING PIPELINE/CONSTRUCTION IN TEAMSTERS LOCAL UNION 229
Effective immediately the following procedure will be followed in regards to the pipeline list, in regards to how Teamsters LU 229 will send out workers to jobs that become available in the Local and Pipeline contract, this is not a HIRING HALL LIST, or a JOB REFERRAL LIST:
- The pipeline list is good for 180 days, you must let the Agent know that you want to be retained on the list with your name, phone number, qualifications every 180 days, it is the members responsibility to be renewed every 180 days. If your qualifications change it is your responsibility to let the agent know to change it on the list.
- If a member is called for a job they can refuse once and are skipped, the second refusal they are removed from the list until the next list is effective and they must call in to be put on that list.
- A member must be available immediately for work, example you are called at 8:00 a.m. for work at 9:00 a.m. you are working elsewhere, you refuse, your name is removed until you quit that job and let the agent know they are available your name then goes back on the list.
- Stewards put to work – Being a Steward, you must be able to do all aspects of the job, you are only a Steward for that job, when that job is finished you must put yourself back on the list available for work.
Fraternally,
