indicating their intention to abide by the Hiring HallÕs Dispatch Rules and
Conduct Policy.
á
A
worker must be current with any payment of financial obligations or payroll
percentage owed to the Hiring Hall or to IATSE Local #470.

said employer or by other legal procedure.
á
The
worker must not be suspended from dispatch, by the Hiring Hall Governance

take place following the guidelines set forth in this document.
All workers are employed by the
entity originally requesting labor referral from the Hiring Hall. The Hiring Hall is not an employer of
any worker. Maintaining a position
on the Dispatch List in accordance with these rules does not guarantee labor
referral for any worker.
Any worker wishing to be removed
from the Hiring Hall Dispatch Lists must do so by returning a completed Hiring Hall Dispatch Removal Request form to the Hiring Hall
Governance Board.
Any questions a worker may have
about their eligibility status must be directed to the Hiring Hall Governance
Board. The Business Agent and
Hiring Hall Governance Board can be reached via mail or telephone at:

2 Calling Rules
2.1 General Dispatch Calling Rules
It is the responsibility of the
Business Agent of IATSE Local #470 to fill employer labor requests to the best
of their ability in accordance with the rules of the Hiring Hall. If the Business AgentÕs schedule causes
them to be unable to contact workers in a timely fashion, they may appoint a
temporary Dispatch Call Steward to make the calls.
The temporary Dispatch Call
Steward shall be held to the same dispatch calling procedure as the Business
Agent.
It is the responsibility of the
Business Agent to apprise any Dispatch Call Steward of each workerÕs
eligibility status.
The Business Agent shall contact
each eligible worker in Dispatch List order using the procedure set forth
here. The Business Agent will make
dispatch calls, by telephone, between the hours of 9:00 am and 8:00 pm except
in case of an emergency or by prior arrangement with a worker.
The Business Agent is not
obligated to call workers who have already begun working on a labor request
when their current hours conflict with the new labor request. For each labor request the Business
Agent will be required to make only one dispatch call to each worker.
2.2 Direct contact
The Business Agent must make
direct contact with the worker or leave an electronic message. No third party messages will be left
unless it is the only option. An
electronic message may consist of a voice mail, answering machine message or
electronic page. The Business
Agent may not accept a third party response to accept or decline any offered
work.
2.3 Non-availability
Any worker wishing not to be called
for dispatch to specific venues or employers must request, in writing, and
return a completed Dispatch Removal Request Form to the Hiring Hall Governance
Board.
Please be advised that this may
negatively affect your annual documented labor referral availability hour
accumulation and non-availability exceeding seven (7) days in a given
month.
Any worker wishing not to be
called for dispatch for any period of time must inform the Business Agent of
this request in writing or e-mail.
If the Business Agent is aware
that a worker is unavailable for dispatch, but has not been informed in
writing, they may petition the Hiring Hall Governance Board to forgo obligation
to call said worker. The Hiring
Hall Governance Board shall write a certified letter to the worker informing
them they will be made ineligible for dispatch call in two (2) weeks unless
informed, in writing, of the workers availability. A worker may inform the Business Agent, in writing, of their
full or part time work schedule and request to be called only for labor
requests that do not conflict with said schedule.
They may also request to be
informed of all labor requests, but the Business Agent will not be obligated to
wait for their response before continuing through the Dispatch List. Workers informing the Business Agent of
Non-Availability shall not have work missed during that period count as a turn
down.
If at any time the Business
Agent or Hiring Hall is unable to reach a worker by their contact information
on file, the Business Agent will not be obligated to attempt contact while
dispatching work until the worker provides current contact information. It is the responsibility of the workers
to inform the Business Agent, in writing or e-mail, of any change in their
telephone number or mailing address within ten (10) calendar days of any such
change.
It is the responsibility of the
Business Agent to keep complete records of all dispatch calls made. Any worker with a question about a
specific dispatch call may review these records by appointment with the
Business Agent or their appointed representative.
3 Dispatch Calling Procedure
3.1 Calling
The Business Agent shall attempt
to make direct contact with the worker by calling up to two (2) available
contact phone numbers for the worker.
If direct contact is made with the worker, they shall have a response
grace period to accept or decline the call by phone, fax or email to the
Business AgentÕs office. If no
direct contact is made, an electronic message will be left and the worker will
have a response grace period to accept or decline by phone, fax or email to the
Business Agents office. The
response grace period shall be from the time of call until 6:00 PM the next
day. If no message can be left,
this shall be accepted as the dispatch call attempt. Workers responding within the response grace period will be
placed on the labor request in Dispatch List order.
Workers responding after the
response grace period may be placed on the labor request, if a position
remains, in the order of their response, regardless of Dispatch List
order.
Any such worker shall be
notified. Once the labor request
is filled, the Business Agent shall not be obligated to respond to workers not
needed.
3.2 Availability Call
To expedite the filling of labor
requests the Business Agent may call workers to determine their availability,
but not offer any work. These
calls will be made in Dispatch List order. The Business Agent will inform the worker this is only an
availability call, and no work is being offered.
3.3 Accepting a Dispatch Call While Absent.
Workers who will be out of
contact may accept dispatch calls while they are absent by doing so in
writing to the Business Agent, including conditions of acceptance. Workers accepting dispatch calls in
such a manner must contact the Business Agent as soon as they return for
confirmation.
Thirty Six
(36) hours or fewer prior to the commencement of a labor request shall
constitute an emergency dispatch call.
In such an emergency the Business Agent shall move directly through the
Dispatch List calling each worker at the phone number they are most likely to
be reached.
Either by
direct contact or electronic message the worker will be informed the dispatch
call is of emergency status and until what time the labor request will be
filled in Dispatch List order. The
labor request will be filled in Dispatch List order until eighteen (18) hours
prior to or 6:00 pm the night before its commencement. Eighteen (18) hours or fewer prior to,
or 6:00 pm the night before, the commencement of a labor request. Workers accepting previously made
dispatch calls will be placed on the labor request in the order of their
response.
The Business Agent may call any eligible
worker regardless of dispatch list order so the labor request may be filled in
a timely manner. If direct contact
is not made, the Business Agent will leave an electronic message with the
details of the labor request and of its emergency status, but is not obligated
to wait for a response before filling the labor request.
The Business
Agent is not obligated to call workers who are already dispatched on a labor
request where the hours will conflict with the new labor request. Declining or not responding to an
emergency call will not be considered a dispatch call turn down.
5 Additions and
Replacements to Labor Requests
In the event
additional or replacement workers are added before the start of an existing
labor request it shall be the responsibility of the Business Agent to fill said
positions. In the event additional
or replacement workers are added after the start of a labor request it shall be
the responsibility of the Job Steward to fill said positions.
If the
additional or replacement times and dates differ from the original labor
request the Business Agent or Job Steward shall first contact workers who are
already on the labor request, in dispatch list order within Specialty Personnel
areas or departments.
If no worker
previously on the labor request, within the Specialty Personnel area or
department is able to accept the additional duties the Business Agent or Job
Steward shall contact workers who are already on the labor request in dispatch
list order.
If no worker
previously on the labor request is able to accept the additional duties the
Business Agent or Job Steward shall call for additional workers in proper
Dispatch List order. If the new
labor request is of a temporary nature the Business Agent shall inform workers
of this while making the dispatch call.
Replacements, temporary or permanent, shall be granted only in cases of
emergency, by prior arrangement or due to disciplinary action.
6 Leaving a
Dispatched Position
All advance
requests for temporary replacement from a labor request must be made at the
time of call acceptance and approved by both the Business Agent and Job
Steward. Such requests will be
judged on a case by case basis and are not required to be fulfilled. Anyone requesting
temporary replacement from a labor call due to their required elected or
volunteer civic duty, such as elected government positions, armed service duty,
voting polls worker, or jury duty, shall be granted an exemption.(2) Workers shall
not replace themselves.(3)
Any worker
requiring either temporary or permanent emergency replacement should first
attempt to make direct contact with the Job Steward.
If the Job
Steward is not available they should next attempt to contact the Business
Agent. While it is appropriate to
leave a voice mail message the worker should not assume that such a message
will be retrieved in a timely manner and should continue to attempt to make
direct contact with one of these two people.
7 Reductions to
Labor Requests
In the event
that an employer decreases the original number of workers requested before the
start of a labor request workers will be removed in reverse Dispatch
order. In the event that an
employer decreases the original number of workers requested after the start of
a labor request the Job Steward may remove workers in reverse Dispatch List
order, within departments or Specialty Personnel groups. The Job Steward shall not be required
to rotate workers doing specific jobs or tasks in order to accomplish this.
No worker
shall be required to make a dangerous commute during extreme inclement weather,
natural disaster, riot, act of God or general conflagration. It is the responsibility of any worker
who feels that they must be tardy for, or absent from work due to the above
conditions to contact the Job Steward or Business Agent immediately.
A worker who
is tardy or absent due to inclement weather without informing the Job Steward
or Business Agent shall be subject to disciplinary action.
8

Employer, both in writing, for not achieving the level of skill required
performing a specific job.

of collective bargaining agreement language, governing the requesting of

request. Requests by name shall
not include the Job Steward. All
requests for personnel by name must be made in writing, or email to the
Business Agent seven (7) days prior to the commencement of a labor request.

Sheet and the Worker Agreement.
The Hiring Hall applicant will be considered for dispatch upon the
return of the requested information.
A reasonable effort shall be made to keep the Hiring Hall applicants in
an order determined by the date their Dispatch Information Sheet is
received. However, an applicant
who is determined to be better qualified on the basis of their resume and
Dispatch Information Sheet or an applicant who is requested by an employer in
accordance with this document and the applicable collective bargaining
agreement may be dispatched for employment ahead of other applicants. If an applicant has not accepted a call
within the one (1) year of the receipt of their information they may reassert
their interest in remaining in the group either in writing or by phone message
to the Business Agent.
Should an
applicant in Group E fail to meet these qualifications, they will be removed
from the list. Those removed may
reapply at any time. The Business
Agent will initiate the first telephone contact with the applicant in regard to
dispatched employment. Once a
worker in Group E accepts a call through the Hiring Hall or is employed
directly by an employer under a collective bargaining agreement held by IATSE
Local # 470, they will be placed at the end of Group D.
For any year
that the work available to the workers on the Dispatch List is not enough to
allow them to maintain their positions on the lists, the Hiring Hall Governance
Board may revise the required minimum number of hours to reflect the work
available. They will do so during
the First Quarter of the following year.
Any worker feeling that the number of calls made available to them has
adversely affected their position on the Dispatch List may request such a
review of the Board. Any revisions
by the Hiring Hall Governance Board of these minimums must be approved by the
membership. Workers who receive
Social Security, limiting their ability to accept calls, may be exempted from
the minimum number of hours required to remain in their group at the discretion
of the Hiring Hall Governance Board.
It is the
responsibility of such workers to inform the Hiring Hall Governance Board of
their situation. Some
documentation may be required.
Workers, who
are injured or receive WorkmenÕs Compensation from work accepted through this
hiring hall, limiting their ability to accept calls, may be exempted from the
minimum number of hours required to remain in their group at the discretion of

responsibility of such workers to inform the Hiring Hall Governance Board of
their situation. Some
documentation may be required.
