Constitution - Teamsters Local 399

ART. XII, SEC. 2
When a master agreement negotiated under the provisions
of this Article provides for a reopener and renegotiation,
or is voluntarily reopened during its stated
term, the above voting procedure shall apply to ratification
of the new terms, if any, and Section 2(d) shall apply
to strike votes.
If amendments to local or area supplements or riders
to a master agreement are voluntarily negotiated during
the term of such agreement, such amendments must be
approved by a majority vote of the members involved
and affected by the amendments, regardless of job classification,
voting by secret ballot. Eligibility to vote shall
be determined and directed by the subcommittee or committees
which negotiated the rider or supplement or the
master negotiating committee, subject to appeal to the
General President. Such amendment or rider also must
be approved in such manner as may be specified in the
master agreement.
(c). In the event any Local Union, Trade Conference
or Division, or Committee negotiates an agreement
which involves, affects, or relates to operations of the
employer or employers within the jurisdiction of other
Local Unions, Trade Conferences or Divisions, or
Committees, notice of intent to execute such agreement
shall be given to the Trade Conferences or Divisions,
Committees, or Local Unions involved in such other
jurisdiction, who may, within ten (10) days thereafter,
protest the application of such agreement in their
area. Failure to file such protest after notice is given shall
be considered a waiver of any objections to such
agreement, but shall not be considered an acceptance of
such agreement as a substitute for or in variance of,
existing agreements to which the other Local Unions are
parties.
