*DUE TO THE EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH VOLUME OF WORK CURRENTLY WITHIN LOCAL 817's JURISDICTION, AND TO PROTECT OUR WORK AND JURISDICTION, THE EXECUTIVE BOARD HAS APPROVED A TEMPORARY CHANGE TO THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR NEW DRIVERS, EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 7, 2026.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, LOCAL 817 WILL ONLY ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ABLE TO WORK IMMEDIATELY.  

ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO IS REFERRED TO WORK PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE FORMAL APPLICATION PROCESS MUST ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE IN WRITING TO ALWAYS COMPLY WITH LOCAL 817’S REFERRAL RULES AND CODE OF CONDUCT.  THEY MUST ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY WORK RECEIVED WILL BE ON A TEMPORARY BASIS, DOES NOT CONSTITUTE PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT, AND DOES NOT CREATE ANY EXPECTATION OF CONTINUED REFERRAL.
