Transfer Membership To 649
When a union member undertakes an acting or secondment assignment and/or relocates to the Timmins area and its surrounding regions within the jurisdiction of Local 649, it is crucial for them to promptly join the local to ensure continued support and advocacy. Joining Local 649 not only fosters solidarity within the union but also ensures that dues are directly channeled to support members within the immediate community.
By transferring membership to Local 649, union members actively contribute to the strength and resources of the local chapter, enabling it to better serve and represent its members’ interests. This transfer of dues directly bolsters the local’s capacity to advocate for improved working conditions, negotiate fair contracts, and provide essential services to members in the Timmins area.
For clarity: This process should be performed for any temporary change in position for six months (6) or more. While it is NOT necessary to perform this request when the temporary assignment is less than six months, it does keep the union dues in house to support local 649.
