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

• A. Home Local
• B. Host Local
• C. Steward
• D. Local Union Directory

Answer: (B)

When you work under a local jurisdiction other than your home local, the working assessments go to the host local—the local where the work is performed. This local administers the job, including dispatch, benefits, and funds for that assignment, so it should receive the payments tied to the work done there. Your home local remains your membership base, but it doesn’t take in the working assessment for out-of-j jurisdiction work. A steward is a representative of the job site, not a payer of these assessments, and a local union directory is just a record-keeping resource, not a payer.
