2203-0-03 Terry Buck moved to amend the TWU Local 514 Bylaws to conform with current practices and positions which will keep us in compliance with the Department of Labor election rules. Additionally to align the GSW Vice Chairman and Recording Secretary elections with the normal officer election cycle, which will result in saving for the Local by reducing the number of election cycles.

Article VI Shop Stewards
Section 1: Executive Stewards

select their replacement will start immediately
New Language
h. Executive Stewards may be removed from office for dereliction of duty by the Executive Board, or when a majority of the members who the Steward represents in (requests in writing) their bid area has requested in writing to the President or the Executive Board their desire for such removal. Any Executive Steward removed from an Executive Steward position may appeal such removal to the Executive Board, provided such appeal is made in writing to the Executive Board within ten (10) days, in which event the Executive Board will conduct a hearing within ten (10) days, from the date of the appeal and the Steward will be notified of the time and place of such hearing. Executive Stewards shall not assume any temporary non-bargaining unit position without forfeiture of their Executive Steward position and any Executive Steward expenses due for the month or months they have not collected.
