Dues-paying Local 34 members in good standing and suffering from financial hardship due to Operation Metro Surge are invited to apply for financial assistance.

The mutual aid fund, created at the March 2026 General Assembly, will distribute aid to support affected members.

The funds, which are not guaranteed, could be used to pay late rent, utilities, car payments, legal fees and daycare. They will be distributed directly to the creditors.

Apply for assistance by completing this form. Do not complete this form on your county device.
