I am planning on quiting my job and withdrawing membership from my
union.  I am a member of the electrical workers union, IBEW local 441,
Santa Ana, Ca.  I would like to know what the correct procedure would
be for an official withdrawl of membership e.g., a written letter,
phone call, in person.  I'm sure that there are certain bylaws that
would need to be observed so that I cover all my basis.  I am also
wondering how I can go about obtaining my pension funds.

Thank you.

As I'm sure you're aware, there is no information at IBEW441's web
site as to how to withdraw and receive your pension funds.  I have
emailed them, since the office closes at 4:30pm.  I should have an
Answer for you by noon tomorrow, either way.

I called the union for you, they said you need to call them directly
and request an "Application To Withdraw" be mailed to you. At that
time, you should also ask about the procedure to claim your pension
funds. They won't give any information to third parties.

If this qualifies as your Answer, please let me know so I can post
this information in the Answer Box...
