Why do we have only one Board Member-at-Large?

Date 8/10/22 Answer

The number of Executive Board Members for all Locals is determined by Article XIV of the TWU International Constitution. Based on the number of members in good standing, Local 579 is entitled to four Officers (President, Vice-President, Recording Secretary, and Financial Secretary-Treasurer) and seven Executive Board Members. In order to allow for an equitable representation for the membership as a whole, one elected Executive Board Member is being elected from each Base and the remaining Executive Board Member will be elected at large.

That will be determined by the Local Executive Board, since they will need to establish a budget.

How many "Shop Stewards" per base will there be? When will the full responsibilities and expectations (time, location expectations, benefits) etc for elected officials/shop stewards be published?

Dae 8/17/22 Answer

These issues are not addressed in the TWU Constitution or the Local Bylaws, and will be decided by the newly elected Officers and Executive Board.
