5 Section 255 Change #17-2021 September 20, 2021 A. The wages are less than the highest of the federal minimum wage, State minimum wage, training wage, or 80% of the federal minimum wage if others do not apply. B. Employment is on a piece rate basis and the average hourly yield reasonably expected by the employee is less than the applicable hourly wage. C. The member, as a condition of employment or continuing employment, is required to join, resign from, or refrain from joining any legitimate labor organization. D. The work offered is at a site subject to a strike or lockout at the time of the offer unless the strike has been enjoined under Section 208 of the Labor- Management Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 78) (commonly known as the Taft- Hartley Act) or unless an injunction has been issued under Section 10 of the Railway Labor Act (45 U.S.C. 160). NOTE: The Labor Management Relations Act (or Taft-Hartley Act) was passed by Congress in 1947. The act prohibits unions from coercing employees to join the union and requires unions to participate in collective bargaining. E. The degree of risk to health and safety is unreasonable. F. The member is physically or mentally unfit to perform the employment. Verify by medical evidence or reliable information from other sources. G.

The distance from the member’s home to the place of employment is unreasonable, considering the expected wage, time, and cost of commuting. Distance is unreasonable when commuting exceeds two hours per day, not including the transportation of a child to day care. Employment is also unsuitable if neither public nor private transportation is available and walking distance to the job is in excess of two miles round trip. I. The working hours or nature of the employment interferes with the member’s religious observances, convictions, or beliefs. 255.05 DETERMINING VOLUNTARY QUIT AND VOLUNTARY REDUCTION FOR APPLICANTS A.
