Dear Members of District Council 16 Local Union 294,
I hope this letter finds you well. As a proud member of District Council16 Local Union 294. I wanted to take a moment to reiterate the importance of staying actively engaged with our union, particularly when it comes to attending meetings and maintaining communication with the local office regarding work status.
Our union thrives on the participation of its members. Regular attendance at union meetings is not only an opportunity to stay informed about important updates and ongoing issues, but also an essential part of demonstrating solidarity within our local. The more involved we are as members, the stronger and more unified our collective voice becomes in advocating for our rights, negotiating benefits, and ensuring fair working conditions.
Additionally, it is crucial that members follow proper procedures when they are laid off or returning to work. If you find yourself temporarily out of work, it is important to call the local office to be added to the out of work list. This ensures that you are registered and eligible for potential work opportunities that may arise. Similarly, when you return to work for a new or existing employer, please notify the local office promptly so your status is updated. This not only helps us keep accurate records but also ensures that you remain eligible for union benefits, including any job referrals or training opportunities.
Maintaining open lines of communication with the local office is essential to protecting both your rights as a worker and the integrity of our union. By adhering to these guidelines, we can continue to build a strong, supportive network for all members and ensure fair and equitable treatment for everyone.
Thank you for your attention to these important matters, and for your continued dedication to our union and its goals. Together, we can continue to make meaningful progress in strengthening our collective bargaining power and advocating for better working conditions.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or the local office if you have any questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
Jeffery Roberts
Business Representative
