The Rules
Effective January 1, 2023, Local 57 will automatically issue a withdrawal/retiring card to any member that has no hours of employment within the industry for at least one full calendar month, in accordance with Article XX of the International Constitution. Members who have been automatically issued a retiring/withdrawal card may regain their continuous good standing by providing written notice to Local 57 and by paying any dues missed during the period that they were withdrawn from the active rolls.
​
If you are off work (injury, illness, or leave of absence) for one (1) full calendar month or more, a retiring card (withdrawal card) is necessary to avoid paying dues. One (1) day worked in a month requires dues payment for that month. If you do not obtain a retiring card, you will be required to pay delinquent dues or be expelled at the end of six (6) months for non-payment of dues.
