IMPORTANT!! Every member to obtain new TWIC Card!
Posted: Mar 01, 2008
Effective September 25, 2008, the Transportation Security Administration is requiring all mariners to have the Transportation Worker Identification Credential, or TWIC Card, to enter ports and certain secure areas commonly used within the dredging industry. There is a strong need for Local 25 members to obtain this TWIC Card. After the September deadline, contractors will have the right to refuse any member who doesn't have the TWIC Card.
Because of the importance of this Card, it has been agreed that any member in good standing who obtains this card will be reimbursed the cost of the Card.
Click here to view the letter mailed to every member in good standing detailing the procedure and requirements for this Card and the reimbursement plan.
