[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3779977, member: 63706"] Art XII Section 2(b) "Where special riders, supplements, or agreements ap‑ plicable to one or more Local Unions are separately ne‑ gotiated and agreed to providing for wages, hours, fringe benefts, or working conditions, such special riders or supplements, shall frst be approved by the master nego‑tiating committee before being submitted to the affected members for a vote in accordance with the provisions of Article XII, Section 1(b) Members shall have the right to ratify the collec‑ tive bargaining agreement negotiated by their Local Union with their employer, subject to the provisions of Sections 3 and 11 of this Article Agreements shall either be accepted by a majority vote of those members in‑volved in negotiations and voting, or a majority of such members shall direct that further negotiations be con‑ ducted. During negotiations, the Local Union Executive Board may order a secret ballot vote to be taken to deter‑ mine whether the affected members authorize a strike or to obtain the members’ views on an employer proposal. If such interim votes are conducted before the Executive Board has determined that the employer has made a fnal offer, a majority of the members voting shall determine the question voted upon The Local Union Executive Board shall determine whether an employer has made a fnal offer of settlement, regardless of the employer’s characterization. When the Local Union Executive Board has determined that an offer is “fnal”, such offer must be submitted to the involved membership for a secret ballot vote as hereinafter provided: [I][B](1) If at least one‑half of the members eligible to vote cast valid ballots, then a cumulative majority of those voting in favor of the fnal offer shall result in acceptance of such offer; and a cumulative majority of those voting against acceptance of the fnal offer shall authorize a strike without any additional vote being necessary for such strike authorization. In the event of a tie vote on ei‑ ther a motion to accept a fnal offer or to strike, the Local Union Executive Board shall conduct a second vote If the result of the second vote is a tie, the Local Union Executive Board shall have the discretion to either accept the fnal offer or reject the fnal offer and authorize a strike at such time as it determines. (2) If less than half of the eligible members cast valid ballots, then a twothirds (2/3) vote of those voting shall be required to reject such fnal offer and to authorize a strike. The failure of such membership to reject the fnal offer and to authorize a strike as herein provided shall require the Local Union Executive Board to accept such fnal offer or such additional provisions as can be negoti‑ ated by it (c). When the fnal offer has been rejected in accor‑ dance with this Section, it shall constitute authorization for a strike. The Local Union Executive Board shall have the discretion to call a strike at such time and under such terms and conditions as it may determine, recognizing that applicable law may require additional conditions to be satisfed before a lawful strike may be conducted.[/B][/I] Any question arising from the application or interpre‑ tation of this Section shall be decided by the General President whose decision shall be fnal." As you can see the language is basically identical for the supplementals as for the master. [/QUOTE]
