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 />
