Does having an HLM mean you don't have to be signed in as a guest if you come back to visit? Are people given cards or is there some master list in a drawer somewhere?
Cards will be sent out later in the summer I was told, and yepp, entry to the Union without having to be signed in. What filled me with great joy is that, given all those agreements, the same applies for most unions across the country, for life!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.
A life membership card - honorary or ordinary - should get you into any union that has a reciprocal agreement with our association.
It may have changed, but it used to be the case that you paid the fee for life membership at the Cash Office and then took the receipt to the General Office where your photo would be taken and the card issued.
