[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 2596399, member: 37112"] The Local Union bylaws (sections conveniently not included in this "charge") allow the E-board to establish benefits, including vacations. The IBT Constitution, Art XXII Sec 4 (e) also clearly states "Nothing contained herein shall relieve the Local Union of the [B]responsibility to arrange for the payment of financial obligations or [U]benefits[/U] [U]previously authorized[/U] in accordance with the Local Union’s Bylaws, [/B]on such terms as necessary to preserve the ability of the Local Union to meet its current financial commitments and provide services to the membership." In any case it's unusual for a [I]local union[/I] to publicise on their website internal union charges or letters to charged members, before the finding. The GST audit follow up letter was routine, suggesting a review of calculations made on the payout and then possible legal recourse if improprieties were found. That would be a duty of the former S/T Jim R who [B]did[/B] meet with the "investigator". Finally, Edween sent a letter to the outgoing President stating "he" has a right to approve any extraordinary expenditures. That right is reserved for the entire Executive Board, not any single officer. This is 101 stuff a Local Union President should know. Apparently Edween has trouble with comprehension or is being coached. Using union resources to further a political campaign against suspected future challengers is frowned upon by the IIO. I can see counter charges/lawsuits/retractions on the way... [/QUOTE]
