Dear Sisters and Brothers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There have been some questions concerning the process\/payments of unemployment dues for our members to remain in good standing while separated from employment, layoff\/furlough and sickness or disability. In our constitution, as per Article G, members that are off for any of the above reasons can apply for an unemployment stamp to remain in good standing, by paying $2.00 per month. Members may want to remain in good standing with the Union to have access to the union benefits, which are contained in the affinity booklet, or have the ability to run in an election or to hold office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you would like to remain in good standing, you can make the initial monthly $2.00 payment to the lodge within 60 days of your last day of employment. Unemployment stamp payments after that must be made prior to the 15th<\/sup> of each month. The local will only accept a cheque accompanied by the local lodge Request for Unemployment Stamp Form<\/a><\/strong>. The form must be submitted with payment. If your membership lapses, you cannot be re-initiated until you pay two full months’ dues. This usually occurs after the second month when you return to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cheques can be dropped off at the union office at T1 or mailed to the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unemployment Stamp 2921 If you chose to mail it, be aware of the delays with Canada Post.
