What are the hours to sign the Book(s)?
Members 7:30-7:45AM & after dispatch till 4:30PM (but not between 12 to 1PM), Travelers 1:30-3:30PM in the Metro Office.


What is a short job?
A short job is any job posted as 120 hours or less.


Why can’t I find my name on the Book(s)?
The Book(s) are in chronological order, sign-in dates & times are printed in order on the Book(s) & on your “Out of Work” registration form. If you still can’t find your name, be sure to ask the dispatcher before Dispatching starts.


When is the next Roll Call?
All Groups, except Apprentices, shall Roll Call/Re-sign monthly beginning on the 10th and ending on the 16th of each month between 7:30 A.M. and 4:30 P.M., except during dispatch or lunch. Updated ‘Out-of-Work Registers’ (Books) will be in effect the first normal workday following the Roll Call/Re-Sign period


Why were there more calls posted than on the job line?
The job line is provided as an indication of upcoming work. Local 11 will never  engage in a policy that would cost: a member a day’s pay, the employer a day’s work force, the customer a day’s business.
