  • Expectations of Event Participants

    • All participants are expected to adhere to the event agenda, which may include any scheduled social events on the dates listed above.
    • If you have any TWU Local 575 gear (shirts, hats, pins, etc.), you are encouraged to wear these items during the events.
    • We encourage networking with members from other participating locals and taking photos to share with the membership.
    • As a participant, you are required to attend the next General Membership Meeting at your home station and provide a brief presentation to the Local regarding the event you attended. While more detail is always welcome, a simple explanation, such as why members should get involved or why the event was beneficial to the Local, is sufficient.
    • If you are scheduled to work during the event, the Local will remove you from the work schedule for those days, and you will continue to be paid by the Company. Failure to attend the event will result in forfeiture of any lost time pay.
  • Expense Reimbursement

    • When available, the Local will cover expenses in advance for lodging, meals, and transportation, provided the request is made with sufficient notice. There will be situations in which the attending member must cover their own expenses and submit the original receipts along with a completed and signed TWU expense reimbursement form to the Local. Reimbursement will be processed within fifteen (15) days.
    • The TWU Local 575 Reimbursement Policy is available upon request from the Local Treasurer.
  • Standard reimbursement guidelines include:

    • Up to three (3) approved meals per day, with a maximum of $35 per meal. This is not a per diem and is a "use it or lose it" allowance. If any meals are provided as part of the event, those meals may not be expensed, as they are already covered by the Local.
    • Transportation is limited to travel required by the event agenda (Uber, Lyft, taxi, train, etc.) and standard transportation to and from the airport. When shuttle service is available, it must be used. Car rentals require prior approval from the Local Treasurer or the Local President before the event. The most cost-efficient option must be selected. (Refer to the Expense Policy.)
    • If a member is required to pay for lodging, only the room rate and applicable taxes will be reimbursed for event-related lodging. No additional charges will be reimbursed. The clerk is responsible for any incidental fees.
