ART. XIV, SEC. 2-3<br />
(b). Any <strong>Local</strong> Union failing to comply with this<br />
Section during the twelve (12) month period immediately<br />
preceding application for benefits or, in the case of a<br />
<strong>Local</strong> Union chartered for less than twelve (12) months,<br />
during the period following its chartering, shall not be<br />
entitled to any financial or other benefits from the<br />
International Union; provided that the General<br />
Executive Board may, for good cause shown, waive the<br />
requirements of this <strong>Constitution</strong> in respect to the paying<br />
of financial or other benefits and authorize the paying of<br />
same. The General Executive Board may revoke the<br />
charter of any <strong>Local</strong> Union failing to comply with this<br />
Section.<br />
Section 3. Every member covered by a collective bargaining<br />
agreement at his place of employment authorizes<br />
his <strong>Local</strong> Union to act as his exclusive bargaining representative<br />
with full and exclusive power to execute<br />
agreements with his employer governing terms and conditions<br />
of employment and to act for him and have final<br />
authority in presenting, processing, and adjusting any<br />
grievance, difficulty, or dispute arising under any collective<br />
bargaining agreement or out of his employment with<br />
such employer in such manner as the <strong>Local</strong> Union or its<br />
officers deem to be in the best interests of the <strong>Local</strong><br />
Union, all subject to Article XII and other applicable<br />
provisions of the International <strong>Constitution</strong> relating to<br />
such matters. The <strong>Local</strong> Union and its officers, business<br />
representatives, and agents may decline to process any<br />
grievance, complaint, difficulty, or dispute if in their reasonable<br />
judgment such grievance, complaint, or dispute<br />
lacks merit. The provisions of Article XII, relating to<br />
area, multi-area, national, company-wide, or industrywide<br />
contracts, shall supersede any provision of this<br />
Section.<br />
