Dual membership

a dual membership is a membership to 2 or more union at the same time. Before June 27th, 2013, AIN did not recognise dual memberships with other unions such as CINL, USNW, AOWN as well as others. With the 8th Membership Reform Act, dual memberships were officially recognised as long as the member fits a list of requirements and once in a dual membership, follow a strict set of rules laid out by the act. If any of the rules is not followed for some reason, 3 restrictions and punishments were put in place for the member, concerning both unions. Other union members were also allowed to make a dual membership with AIN where they become AIN junior members, with the requirement to apply for promotion to full member waived.
