Remember that the quicker you verify your details with the shop stewards, and the quicker the Membership Administrator in the Region can update the members in the MEMs database, the quicker the cards can be printed and distributed.

Your cooperation and understanding is therefore much appreciated.

Why the verification process?We have already entered some members’ names onto our computer programme – MEMS. However, to avoid you receiving a membership card that is incorrect, we must double-check all the information that we have on our system.

We need to know who on the list has been retrenched, dismissed or retired. We also need to know the details of which Numsa members are not on our computer system. If you are not entered into our system, the system cannot give you a membership number. So all those that are not on the system must fill in a Numsa membership form and give it to their shop steward.

What must you as a shop steward do?Get the list of members in your company hand delivered, posted or e-mailed to you by Numsa. Shop stewards who have e-mail facilities to forward their name, their Company name, their Local and Region to Fred Petersen or Nishan Gunawardhana at: fredp@numsa.org.za or nishang@numsa.org.za or phone your region to get the list. Numsa will start with the bigger companies.

Approach company management to provide time and facilities to complete all the issues detailed below. If you are in a very big company, we can visit your company to help you do member verification so as to expedite the issuing of cards. But you must assist us by obtaining facilities for us.

Verify/update records:

Those members on the list who have left the company, indicate in the line directly under the name the reason, ie “retrenched”, “dismissed”, “resigned”, etc [do not scratch out the information as we need to see the detail in order that we can “delete” the member from the workplace] check the spelling of the name and surname very carefully as we want to avoid having to re-print/issue a card again due to wrong spelling on the member-card.
check the ID very carefully (this number allows us to look up member-status very quickly)
check the clock number carefully (with the assistance of your HR/IR/Personnel Department, this number will help you to trace the member in big companies and those companies having multi-shift systems)
those not on the list must complete the Membership form
return the list on which you have made the corrections, including completed Membership Forms of those not on the list, to your Region for the attention of the Membership Administrator
the Membership Administrator will then update the members of that workplace in MEMS.
Once that is completed, the MEMS administrator will send a request to Numsa head office to print and issue the cards to the Region for distribution.

What must you, the member do?Check with your shop steward that your details on the company list that Numsa has given the shop steward are correct. Correct any details that are incorrect.

If your name is not on the list, make sure you fill in all the details on the Numsa membership form. Ask for help if you don’t understand the form. We need all the information filled in.

Hand your completed form to your shop steward.

What benefits will your card bring you?Once we start to send out membership cards we will inform you of the benefits that your card will bring you. Watch Numsa News for details. Remember to sign the back of the card as soon as you receive it.
