When one is employed in another local union jurisdiction, which assessments are paid to the?

When an individual is employed in a jurisdiction outside of their home local union, the assessments are paid to the host local. The host local is the union that represents the area where the work is being performed. This arrangement ensures that the specific local union that is providing services and support to the worker while they are employed in that area receives the necessary funds to administer their responsibilities. This includes providing representation, handling grievances, and supporting labor agreements that apply locally.

The payments to the host local reflect an understanding within the union framework that local unions are responsible for members working in their jurisdiction, allowing for the proper allocation of resources and support to those members directly involved in the workforce within that locality. This system is essential for maintaining the infrastructure of union representation across different regions, ensuring that all members receive appropriate services regardless of where they are employed.
