IBEW local re-sign reference
Every local runs referral its own way. One wants a fax, one wants a phone call, one wants you to walk back through the door, and they are all on different weeks. This is the reference we wished existed on that first trip out.
Each page records one local's published re-sign window, the methods it accepts, the jobline and hall contact, and the date we last checked it against the local's own referral page. Where a local does not publish something, the page says "not published" rather than guessing. We would rather show you a gap than a wrong date.
Your hall is the only authority on your book status. Use this to know what to ask, not as a substitute for asking.

What we found checking these
Two things stand out already, and both of them are the reason travelers get dropped.
The 10th-through-16th window is common enough to be dangerous. Most of the locals verified so far run exactly that window, which is precisely why people assume it everywhere and stop reading. It is a habit, not a rule.
Then you hit a local like 113. Colorado Springs re-signs quarterly — first working day of January, April, July and October, with a fifteen-day grace period. If you are running on the 10th-to-16th assumption you will either re-sign three times too often or, much worse, sail past the quarter without noticing there was a window at all.
The methods vary just as much. Local 106 requires re-signs to be received between the 10th and 16th, and states plainly there are no exceptions — mail it on the 15th and it may not count. Local 24 accepts mail postmarked in the window, which is the opposite rule. Local 538 takes fax and phone until midnight on the 16th but will not remind you the date is coming.
That is the whole problem in three paragraphs, and it is why the dataset is the product.
Help us get this right
This list grows as we verify locals, not as we scrape them. If your local is missing, or the window here is wrong or out of date, tell us at hello@dontdropbook.com. Corrections from members get handled the same day and get you credited on the page if you want it.
If you would rather we prioritise a specific local, say which one. We work the list in the order travelers ask for it.
