[QUOTE="804 MOVING FORWARD, post: 961275, member: 37515"] Lonedope, I'll again refer you to your Local 804 bylaws! Nominations shall be made at a [B]regular general membership meeting [/B]held in [B]October [/B]of the election year. You're apparently looking at Article XXII, Section 4(a) of the IBT Constitution which states, in part, that nominations shall take place in September, October or November and could be held at a special membership meeting. However, in order to proceed in September, October or November at a special membership meeting, that language would have to be voted on and incorporated into the Local 804 bylaws. What was actually voted on and approved by the membership was the language that exists in the 804 bylaws. October nominations at a regular membership meeting, ballots go out in November, ballots counted in December, officers installed in January, Tony D. and the Members Voice whining into February. [I] I just added that last part! It's not actually in the bylaws...just a tradition after the last local election, the Steward elections, and the Delegate election![/I] [/QUOTE]
