Qualified referral unions. A referral union that does not meet the requirements of WAC
192-210-100(4) is called a "qualified referral union." A qualified referral union is one that permits its members to look for work in the covered industry
and, during the most recent calendar year, fewer than fifty percent of the union membership eligible for dispatch obtained employment through their union's referral program. Qualified referral unions are not part of the referral union program. However, a contact with the qualified referral union for a specific job counts as one of the three job search contacts required by RCW
50.20.240. For the remaining contacts, the person must search for work on his or her own.
