All members in good standing are invited to submit Resolutions for Convention, March 2007.

If you wish to have a voice regarding TWU Constitutional change, we invite you to submit a resolution at the November 8th General Meeting.

You should:
• Read the constitution and find an article you want to change;
• Draft a (simple) resolution to address those changes. That is, write out what changes you want to make;
• Submit it to your Alternate Business Agent and / or Business Agent to ensure it is feasible and, correctly worded. You may be asked to allow a 'Friendly Amendment'. This means it will have corrections made to make sure it gets passed at the local level and get reviewed by the Constitution Committee instead of being ruled out of order at the local level;
• Bring it after revisions (if required) to the November Local 213 meeting to be voted on for submission;
• If the motion is carried, it will be forwarded for the Convention Agenda;
• The Constitution Committee will review it and make it's recommendation on the resolution in the Delegates Convention Kit i.e. recommend   concurrence/non-concurrence. This will tell delegates whether the Constitution Committee agrees it is favourable, and benefits the members or not. A vote will still be taken unless it is ruled out of order at convention by the Chair.

The Resolution document can be found HERE. After it passes at the local meeting, give a copy to the Secretary-Treasurer for submission.

This is probably the last local meeting before December to submit a resolution. All submissions have to be received by December 15th at Lane St.

You have the chance to make your collective voices heard. Your executive welcomes your input.
