SUBSTITUTE BYLAW PROVISIONS

ARTICLE II

Meetings

Sec. 1. Meetings of the Units shall constitute and be considered the regular meetings of the Local Union.

Sec. 2. Regular meetings shall be held once monthly at the time and date as decided by the Local Union. The International Office shall be advised of the time, date, and location of regular Local Union meetings and also of any future changes. The membership shall be notified of any change in regular meeting dates.

Sec. 3. Only the Business Manager or the Executive Board may call special meetings. The members shall be notified in writing (by mail, leaflets, in the Union newspaper, or on any accessible bulletin boards) of any special meeting. No business shall be transacted at any special meeting except that for which it has been called.

Sec. 1. Local unions may decide to replace the regular meeting with monthly meetings of the units where units have been established.

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.
