Membership In A Non-Pay Status

WHAT IS REQUIRED IF I GO INTO A NON-PAY STATUS

1. If you are a Value Plan member (on dues check-off) in a non-pay status, you will be covered by the ABA for up to 90 days. If you continue in a non-pay status after 90 days, you must submit your assessments to the ABA in order to remain in good standing.

2. If you are an Advantage Plan member (on dues check-off) in a non-pay status, you will be covered at the Value Plan rate for up to 90 days and will only be responsible for paying the difference between the Value and Advantage Plan rate. If you choose not to pay the difference, you will receive benefits at the Value Plan rate in the event of an accident. After 90 days you must submit your full assessment to the ABA in order to remain a member in good standing.

3. If your spouse is an ABA member (and not a member of the APWU) there is no 90 day grace period for their ABA benefits. In order for the spouse to remain in good standing their assessments must be submitted beginning the first Pay Period in the non-pay status.

4. If you are a PLUS member in a non-pay status you must submit ABA Plus assessments beginning the first Pay Period in a non-pay status to be considered a member in good standing.

Any payment of claims filed for benefits by any member in a non-pay status will be reduced by the amount of said back ABA dues prior to payment(s) being made.

Just Jobs Network: Can Global Economy Share the Wealth?

The global economy has been very good to the very rich–but not so much for the 212 million people who are unemployed worldwide, according to the International Labor Organization (ILO).  

The Center for American Progress (CAP) yesterday launched the Just Jobs Network, which will bring together scholars and institutions from around the world to explore how best to extend the benefits of the global economy to all of the workers. These experts will analyze employment policies and labor markets in their respective areas.

Just Jobs Network members will share knowledge and experiences and draw attention to the issue of just jobs— jobs complete with labor rights, appropriate remuneration, social protections such as health care and pensions, and opportunities for economic mobility.

Members of the Just Jobs Network Advisory Committee include AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who was represented at the launch by AFL-CIO International Director Cathy Feingold. Said Feingold:

Workers worldwide are struggling to improve their working and living conditions, whether they’re striking in China to improve wages and working conditions or marching in the United Kingdom to protest massive cuts to the public sector. Just jobs, or decent work, needs to be at he center of the global recovery. 

 As CAP President John Podesta said in a statement:

In a world closely connected through technology and flows of people, goods, services, and capital, everyone—thought and policy leaders, labor, businesses, and civil society—must work together to address this urgent challenge.
