ART. XIV, SEC. 2<br />

(3). When the <strong>Local</strong> Union Executive Board authorizes<br />

such meetings by division, craft, or place of<br />

employment, each such meeting shall be conducted<br />

by the officers of the <strong>Local</strong> Union or by<br />

their designees and under the same procedures<br />

and rules as a general membership meeting,<br />

excepting only special meetings for limited purposes,<br />

such as voting on contracts or strikes,<br />

handling of grievances, etc.<br />

(3). On all matters which apply to the general membership,<br />

the votes of the meeting of each particular<br />

division, craft, or place of employment shall<br />

be totaled to determine the action of the <strong>Local</strong><br />

Union in such matter.<br />

(3). Members at each separate division, craft, or<br />

place of employment authorized to hold separate<br />

meetings may vote separately on initiation fees,<br />

dues, and assessments which may apply to them<br />

alone, if higher than the minimum applicable to<br />

the general membership, and may, when authorized<br />

by the <strong>Local</strong> Union Executive Board, vote<br />

separately on approval or disapproval of, or on<br />

matters arising under, contracts applicable only<br />

to them, and strikes or other activities in which<br />

only they will participate.<br />

(4). In order to conduct official business at meetings<br />

required by this Section, the <strong>Local</strong> Union must<br />

have sufficient members and/or officers in attendance<br />

to satisfy the quorum requirement in the<br />

<strong>Local</strong> Union Bylaws; provided, however, that a<br />

quorum shall not be necessary for a <strong>Local</strong> Union<br />

to conduct a meeting for the purpose of accepting<br />

nominations for officers.<br />
