Membership Approves Updates to EA Constitution and By-Laws

7/3/24 UPDATE:

Updates to the Employees’ Association’s Constitution and By-Laws were proposed to general membership on April 9, 2024. Voting on proposed changes opened on April 12th, followed by a second vote on July 11th due to an unintended change in the Constitution and By-Laws distributed to members for the initial vote.

In the latest vote, members approved the revised updates (corrected to remove unintended change) with 129 Yes and 2 No.

Updates include, but are not limited to:

  • General formatting

  • Clarification on Board member duties

  • Updated expenditure limits previously approved by general membership

  • Increased Social Committee budget

  • Additional steward positions to align with the most recent MOU

A copy of the revised updated Constitution and By-Laws can be found here.

Any questions? Please contact your EA Steward.

I’m calling for an emergency general membership meeting on Thursday 12.10.20 at 12pm to discuss the attached tentative agreement.
