AMENDED
RULES
DECEMBER,
2007
TO: ALL MOVIE DRIVERS
FROM: JOSEPH J. BAIROS
SECRETARY-TREASURER
PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER
DATE: DECEMBER 27, 2007
RE: MOVIE RULES
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Below are the current
rules governing movie referrals which became effective
October 1, 2006 and amended December, 2007. Also, enclosed
is the current seniority referral list. Please remember,
this is a referral list not a seniority list like one
found in a Collective Bargaining Agreement with a company.
1. When there is a need
for drivers, the list will be followed by seniority.
The List shall be forwarded to the Captain on the show,
and he in turn will call qualified individuals, by
seniority. When a driver is called and not available
or does not answer the telephone, the next person in
seniority order will be called after a one (1) hour
grace period. The only exception will be if a driver
has notified Secretary-Treasurer and Principal Executive
Officer Bairos one (1) week before that he or she is
out of town and calls in everyday to check on his or
her status.
2. There will be no
light duty notes accepted. You must be available
for full duty or you will not be referred. It is
tough enough proving we provide good, hard-working
people that are reliable and dedicated, than providing
people on light duty or restrictions.
3. If a driver goes on
vacation while on a job, he will not be allowed to
return unless he has notified Secretary-Treasurer and
Principal Executive Officer Bairos in January of that
year of when he/she intends to take his/her vacation
weeks (bereavement or circumstances with no control
will be considered).
4. When a driver is released
from a movie, it is his or her responsibility to notify
Secretary-Treasurer and Principal Executive Officer
Bairos at that time, and he in turn will verify with
your Captain or Co-Captain your availability.
5. No one will be allowed
on the Seniority Referral List if they are on a Seniority
List of an active company and has worked there in the
previous year. This also pertains to the Business Agents.

6. In the event "the
regular" movie list is no longer frozen and the
Union determines that additional employees are needed
on the list, casual employees shall be added to the
regular movie list upon having worked five (5) consecutive
work days for an employer.
7. Employees may be removed
from the regular movie list for proven misconduct as
determined by the principal officer, subject to hearing
before the Local Union Executive Board. Proven misconduct
shall include, but shall not be limited to:
(a) Violation of the
employer's work rules;
(b) Violation of the IBT Constitution, Local Union
By-Laws or Local 251 film, video, and entertainment
industry referral rules, as from time to time amended.
(c) Determination by Local 817 that the employee
is not suitable for referral.
Please remember - this
is Local 817's jurisdiction. Let's work together with
them to maintain a strong relationship which will,
in turn, build trust with our Brothers and Sisters
from New York.
Once again, enclosed
is a copy of the Seniority Referral List. Please contact
me as soon as possible to make sure I have your correct
telephone numbers.
Thank you for your cooperation
in this important matter.
Fraternally yours,
Joseph J. Bairos, Secretary-Treasurer
Principal Executive Officer
