ARE YOU WORKING OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OF THE I.B.E.W., LOCAL 697?

Then you need to learn about

RECIPROCITY

The I.B.E.W. National Reciprocity Agreement states that each Local’s Benefit office is to reciprocate all hours / contributions within thirty (30) days of receipt to the “home” Local that the participant designates within ERTS (Electronic Reciprocal Transfer System).

If you are scheduled to work within another I.B.E.W. Local’s jurisdiction, this is what you need to do after “clearing” in with that Local’s Union Office.

- Frasier Crane

It’s a sad fact that the world is full of ne’er do wells. They are everywhere, and they are always blaming someone else for whatever bad situation they find themselves in.
