Hey everybody i had a quick question. I've been working as an over hire at local 17 as a stagehand for a good while now and have just been offered a card. I'm pretty sure i'm going to take it but i want to make sure of something first. From what i have read the union supports local transfers but its not as easy at it seems. I do not plan on living here all of my life and will eventually want to re locate. Some people say if you try to transfer to another local you have to start back on the c list and scrap from the bottom all over again. Ive also read that the locals in vegas and all the 700's have a rule where they pretty much have to take you if you want to transfer there and are a member and they automatically put you on the A list for a transfer fee of 500. I don't have a specific location in mind that i need to move to but i would like to live somewhere differently in the future and im not picky. My question is how hard is it to transfer, and would it be easier if ii'm open minded about the location? Thanks
