Description: The Bylaws of each local union, with the Constitution,
set out the rules by which the local operates. In a new local, the work of
this committee sets the stage for how the local will function.
Nevertheless, even well established locals may need to modify or amend their
bylaws. Members of this committee are responsible for reviewing submitted
original and/or amended bylaws provisions to the local union membership for
discussion and approval. This committee monitors the required local union
bylaws amendment procedure to ensure compliance with the current bylaws and
constitutional provisions. Once the amended bylaws provision(s) has been
approved by the local union membership, this committee monitors the process to
ensure that the amendment is immediately submitted to the International
Executive Board pursuant to Article 37, Section 3 of the Constitution.
Join this committee to strengthen your local union’s bylaws and structure.
