ART. VI, SEC. 5<br />
vided in Section 5(a) of this Article relative to hearings<br />
on initial appointment of Trustees.<br />
(i). When it is determined by the General President or<br />
the General Executive Board that self-government be<br />
restored, the Trustee shall direct an election at such time as<br />
he may designate, any other provision of this <strong>Constitution</strong><br />
or <strong>Local</strong> Union rules or Bylaws to the contrary notwithstanding.<br />
The Trustee shall not install the officers elected<br />
at such election until directed to do so by the General<br />
President. Upon such installation the Trusteeship shall terminate<br />
and the Trustee shall return all remaining funds,<br />
property, books, and papers to the appropriate officers of<br />
the <strong>Local</strong> Union or other subordinate body. Subsequent to<br />
the release of the <strong>Local</strong> from Trusteeship a terminal audit<br />
shall be prepared. The term of office of the newly elected<br />
officers shall be for not more than three (3) years in the<br />
case of a <strong>Local</strong> Union, or four (4) years in the case of any<br />
other subordinate body, and the next election for officers<br />
shall take place in compliance with the provisions of<br />
Article XXII, Section 4 in the October, November, or<br />
December closest to and preceding the expiration of the<br />
three-year or four-year period, as the case may be following<br />
the initial election.<br />
(j). During any Trusteeship, the affairs of the <strong>Local</strong><br />
Union shall be administered in accordance with the<br />
existing Bylaws of the <strong>Local</strong> Union, to the extent those<br />
provisions are consistent with the <strong>Constitution</strong> and do<br />
not prevent the Trustee from accomplishing the objectives<br />
of the Trusteeship. The General President shall<br />
have the authority to approve a recommendation of the<br />
Trustee that a provision of the <strong>Local</strong> Union Bylaws be<br />
suspended in order to redress the problems that caused<br />
the Trusteeship.<br />
