[QUOTE="brownkonsole, post: 5406150, member: 101422"] No I didnt take a withdrawal card when I quit in January 2017. I had no idea what that was until you mentioned it. I just looked into it briefly and it appears that its a way to keep an inactive membership in the union after departing from the union job and when a new job is acquired in the same union then you dont need to pay the initial union fees again. Is that correct? Does not having a withdrawal card affect my ability to receive the pension a few decades after leaving the union job? I can't imagine that it would be required to continue to be an active or inactive member of the union 30 years after leaving the union job, to receive the pension. Also, the reason I left UPS was because we moved from Boston to Western PA, so if I was to get a teamsters job again it likely wouldnt be in Local 25, so unless I'm mistaken it seems like the withdrawal card wouldnt do me any good. In Boston I was in Local 25, but out near Pittsburgh I have no idea what the local is around here. Wouldnt the withdrawal card have held my membership in Local 25 only, or would it have held my membership in the Teamsters as a whole? [/QUOTE]
