Executive Board may call special meetings.

Article
II, Article
III, and Article
XVI substitution language must be substituted
in their entirety when the local union desires
to fully implement
the Unit concept. However, a number of local
unions utilize the unit concept without involving
these substitute provisions for meetings, elections,
and for amendments to the bylaws. Generally,
full implementation is preferred since it allows
the members to more fully participate in the
decisions of the local union. |
