Rules & Eligibility Requirements
Book 1 and Book 2 Building Trades Journey Workers*, in good standing with their Local Union and the A&J, who have completed all JUT hours for the current and prior JUT year** by the deadline of 11:59pm on April 30, 2025, shall be eligible for the JUT Pays Drawing.
Eligible members are allowed one entry in their home Local Union drawings and one entry in the overall grand prize drawing. (Only one opportunity at winning across all Local Union drawings; one winner cannot win multiple Local Union drawings. For example: a member cannot win a regular $250 Local Union prize and the Local Union $1000 grand prize.)
* Book 1 and Book 2 Building Trades Journey Workers, required to complete JUT hours per the CPMCA/DC16 Master Labor Agreement. Employees of DC16, PIPE, NITC, DC16 Local Unions, the A&J, as well as its full-time instructors, are not eligible even though these employers may require JUT hours.
** Members must be in compliance with their JUT hours per the JUT policy. JUT hours only need to be complete for the previous JUT year if JUT hours were required for the prior JUT year.
Journey Workers are responsible to check, update and ensure the accuracy of their JUT hours at all times.
The JUT Committee reserves the right to revise the rules, regulations, and eligibility criteria at any time without prior notice.
The JUT Committee’s interpretation and application of eligibility, submission eligibility and application of these rules and regulations shall be final.
Funding for the JUT Pays Drawing is separate from the A&J. Funding for the JUT Pays Drawing was raised outside of the A&J, is held separately from A&J funds and the A&J does not fund it. There is no cost to enter the JUT Pays Drawing and no funds shall be collected from members to enter the drawing. Members are required to cover any costs of training and fees, if any, in order to be eligible.
Each Local Union will receive an allotted amount of $250 gift cards for drawings within their Local Union.
In addition, each Local Union will receive one grand prize of a $1000 gift card for a drawing within their Local Union; one winner only per Local Union.
Drawings for $250 gift cards at each Local Union shall be conducted first and before the Local Union grand prize drawing of $1000.
Finally, a grand prize drawing shall be held for a $6000 gift card for a drawing within all eligible members in District Council 16; one winner only.
Once all winners have been drawn, from all drawings, the Local Unions, CPMCA, and the A&J shall publish all winners in their selected communication format(s).
The odds of winning a prize will depend on the number of eligible completers per each Local Union and total eligible completers of DC16 for the grand prize.
The deadline is 11:59pm on April 30, 2025.
