Article XXIV - Withdrawal Cards
Sec. 1. Any member who becomes a general manager or superintendent, or who retires from his trade, may apply to the F.S. for a withdrawal card. It shall require a majority vote at a meeting to grant such card. But the L.U. has the right to require such a member to take out a withdrawal card if it so decides.
Sec. 2. Any member receiving a participating withdrawal card and desiring to maintain his standing in the I.B.E.W. shall deposit the duplicate portion of the withdrawal card in the I.0. and pay his per capita in advance to the I.S.T, as well as any I.0. assessments, and he shall be entitled to all benefits of the I.B.E.W. as long as he complies with its laws and maintains his continuous good standing. The participating withdrawal card shall not entitle the holder to any L.U. benefits or admittance to any L.U. meeting. Upon returning to the trade, the recipient of this card shall deposit it in the L.U. which issued it. No member on participating withdrawal card is entitled to notice of any payments due the I.0.
Sec. 3. Any member not desiring to maintain his standing who retires from the trade or is unemployed, or in such other cases as may be decided by the L.U., may be issued an honorary withdrawal card provided dues are paid for the previous month or the current month if the application is made after the 15th of such month.
Upon returning to the trade, or again becoming employed, and having complied with this article, he shall deposit his withdrawal card in the L.U. that issued it and continue membership by paying the current month dues. No new initiation fee is necessary, except that any "A" member shall pay the two dollar ($2.00) fee as required in Article IX.
Sec. 4. "BA" members not employed under the jurisdiction of the L.U. for at least a month can be shown as on honorary withdrawal without actual issuance of the card, unless the L.U. bylaws provide otherwise. Officers of the L.U. are not entitled to withdrawal status without forfeiture of their office.
However, a "BA" member, shown as on honorary withdrawal or on honorary withdrawal card not exceeding two (2) months, may retain his continuous good standing in the L.U., and eligibility for local union office and as delegate to the I.C., by paying dues for the months of unemployment before becoming indebted to his L.U. for three (3) months dues had he been employed.
Sec. 5. The validity of any withdrawal card shall be dependent upon the good conduct of the member. It can be annulled by any L.U. or by the I.P. for violation of the laws of the I.B.E.W., or the bylaws and rules of any L.U., or for working with or employing nonmembers of the I.B.E.W. to perform electrical work, or for any action of the holder detrimental to the interests of the I.B.E.W. Membership in the I.B.E.W. is automatically terminated upon annulment of any withdrawal card.
A member on a withdrawal card may be subject to charges, trial and appropriate penalty in accordance with provisions of this Constitution.
