The following is the newly adopted Council wide referral policy for all        Local Unions within the Indiana/Kentucky Regional Council:

Indiana/Kentucky Regional Council of Carpenters
Non-Exclusive Referral Policy

Effective December 1, 2005

(1) The Indiana/Kentucky Regional Council of Carpenters shall maintain an open and non-discriminatory                “out-of-work list” in each market area, for its members who desire to be referred for employment. A separate           list may be  maintained for millwrights.  A separate list may be maintained in certain market areas for residential carpenters and floor-coverers, as directed by the Executive Secretary/Treasurer. 

(2) Members of the Indiana/Kentucky Regional Council of Carpenters will have total portability within the    jurisdiction of the Council, and may seek employment in any area.  A member may also place his or her name              on the out-of-work list in any market area within the Council’s jurisdiction where they wish to be employed.

(3) A member wishing to use the Regional Council’s non-exclusive referral service must personally place his              or her name on the out-of-work list, indicating name, address, telephone number, and qualifications. Such          member must re-register every thirty days to maintain his or her place on the out-of-work list.

(4) Employers may call the Regional Council and request referrals.  They may request any number of individuals          in general, by specific qualifications, or by name.  Employers should state the location of the job, reporting date         and time.

(5) Any member registering while currently employed shall be stricken from the list and may be subject to     disciplinary action.

(6) Any member who accepts a job referral and fails to report, ready and able to work as directed, shall be          stricken from the list, and placed at the bottom of the list upon re-registering.

(7) Any member who accepts a job referral and quits said job, shall be the placed at the bottom of the list                 upon re-registering.

(8) Any member who obtains his or her own job is responsible for notifying the appropriate union offices within 24 hours.

(9) The order of referral shall be in descending order beginning at the top of the list, except in cases where                 an Employer requests individuals possessing specific skills and abilities.  In such a case, the Regional Council        shall refer the first member on the list possessing said skills and abilities.  This in no way restricts the right                 of an individual to seek his or her own employment, an employers right to request specific individuals by name,           or the union’s ability to refer stewards at their discretion.

(10) When a member is referred or notifies the Regional Council he or she has accepted employment, the       member’s name shall be removed from the out-of-work list. A member employed for less than five days (a day        shall be considered to be eight hours) must notify the appropriate offices that he or she has been laid off to            retain their position on the list. A member accepting three such employments shall have his or her name              placed at the bottom of the list upon re-registering regardless of the number of days worked.
