In accordance with the International President’s Referral Procedure, UnionWorx has the ability to identify the individuals who could have been referred but did not respond, and they shall be issued a turndown.
Example: There are 100 applicants on the available for work list and there are calls for 4 JWs. Number 37 on the list takes the last job. Every person from #1 to #36 that did not take a job or call in gets a strike (turndown).

When you roll off the book you no longer have a number. Your new position will be established based on when you *re-register.

All resign/re-register requests require approval by the dispatcher or his designee.
