JMI POLICY
Adopted 12/3/00
Policy on access to jurisdiction and membership information (JMI) inside CUE.
The information that CUE possesses is more than just data inasmuch as its use can help or hurt CUE, can help or hurt individuals. Maintenance and security of this information is vital to CUE as an organization, and its abuse must be taken very seriously.
- JMI data kept by statewide CUE shall be maintained and assessed by the statewide table officers and staff on an as-needed basis. It shall be provided to locals upon written request of the local president/chair/contact person (just one of these) to the staff person who keeps the information, or by a person designated by the president of the local president/chair/contact person, who will be held responsible for the use of this information.
- Information passed on under "A" above will not include the employee's social security numbers.
- JMI data kept by statewide CUE shall be provided to statewide committees upon written request, which will specify the exact purpose for the request, and with authorization of the CUE statewide president or his/her designee.
- The statewide CUE will provide locals with regular (monthly) reports that shall include:
- members' names
- work and home addresses and phones
- work locations
- join dates
- classifications
The statewide CUE will provide locals with similar information for the jurisdiction and for new employees as often as is reasonably requested, or whenever CUE obtains new information from UC.
None of this precludes a local from obtaining information at its own expense directly from its campus.
- Once a Local possesses JMI, it is the Local's responsibility to maintain reasonable and responsible control of that information.
- Once a statewide committee possesses JMI, that information may not be used for any purpose except that specified in the request for the information.
- Neither the statewide CUE nor any member, local or committee possessing JMI that has been obtained from the employer may sell, loan, or give that information for any political or commercial purpose or to any other union.
- No member or committee of CUE may broadcast messages based on JMI unless those messages have been approved by an appropriate local or statewide committee. Absent such permission, individual members may not send messages to addresses that the prospective writer has access to by dint of holding office or any position in CUE.
