OAR 471-030-0215: Union Referral List

As used in ORS 657.176(11)(c), “referral list under the collective bargaining agreement” means a list of unemployed members in good standing maintained by a union/labor organization to which the worker belongs. The union/labor organization maintains the referral list for the sole purpose of selecting, notifying, directing and dispatching eligible members to job openings with employers who have a contract/collective bargaining agreement with that union/labor organization and, based on the agreement, only hire members of that union/labor organization referred by that union/labor organization to perform specific categories of job duties. A referral list does not include any list maintained by a union/labor organization solely for the purpose of rehire or recall to the worker’s former/current position.
