In the context of a worker in another jurisdiction, the host local refers to the local where the job is located.

• A. The local where the job is located
• B. The local paying dues to you
• C. The local home base of the member
• D. The national headquarters

Answer: (A)

Locals are geographic units that handle members within their area, and when a worker from one jurisdiction takes a job in another, the local that governs the area where the work is actually performed is the host local. That means the host local is the local in the job’s location, not the worker’s home base or a higher headquarters, and not a local that’s paying dues to you. So, for a worker operating in a different city or region, the local in that job site’s area is the host local. For example, a member from a different local who works on a project in Local Y’s territory will be under Local Y’s host local responsibilities while on that job. The other options describe different relationships (home base, dues flow, or national headquarters) that don’t capture this onsite jurisdictional role.
