Article 40 of the CAW constitution (below) outlines the minimum requirements for Local Union Committees. The Executive of this Local is keenly aware of this requirement and is attempting to establish the required committees. Any members who are interested in participating in this process or in these committees are asked to contact their Regional Rep.


ARTICLE 40
Local Union Committees

 Section 1
The Local Union must have the following standing committees: Constitution and Bylaws, Education, Environment, Recreation, Community Services, Human Rights, Union in Politics, and Women’s. The Local Union may decide to set up additional committees. The Local Union or workplace organization in an Amalgamated Local will decide whether committee members will be elected or appointed.

Section 2
Each Local Union must have an education committee to promote all aspects of education affecting the welfare of the members, the union and the labour movement. Local Unions must make every reasonable effort to participate in the National Union’s education programs and to promote training for local elected leaders at every level.
