Your Officers & Stewards
Your officers and stewards are here for you. They are here to uphold the contract and the rights of each employee. If at anytime you feel that management has violated the contract, elm, or your rights, please do not hesitate to request a steward. You have that right and one should be provided within one (1) hour from the time of your request. (Negotiable around critical dispatch time.)
The Board of Trustees is also here for you. If at anytime you have something you would like the board to address, submit to them a written request before the regularly scheduled meeting. You are the voice of the union, make it heard!
Union Member Rights and Officer Responsibilities Under the LMRDA
The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) guarantees certain rights to union members and imposes certain responsibilities on union officers. The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) enforces many LMRDA provisions while other provisions, such as the bill of rights, may only be enforced by union members through private suit in Federal court.
Union Member Rights
Bill of Rights - Union members have:
equal rights to participate in union activities
freedom of speech and assembly
voice in setting rates of dues, fees, and assessments
protection of the right to sue
safeguards against improper discipline
Copies of Collective Bargaining Agreements - Union members and nonunion employees have the right to receive or inspect copies of collective bargaining agreements.
Reports - Unions are required to file an initial information report (Form LM-1), copies of constitutions and bylaws, and an annual financial report (Form LM-2/3/4) with OLMS. Unions must make the reports available to members and permit members to examine supporting records for just cause. The reports are public information and copies are available from OLMS.
Officer Elections - Union members have the right to:
nominate candidates for office
run for office
cast a secret ballot
protest the conduct of an election
Officer Removal - Local union members have the right to an adequate procedure for the removal of an elected officer guilty of serious misconduct.
Trusteeships - Unions may only be placed in trusteeship by a parent body for the reasons specified in the LMRDA.
Prohibition Against Certain Discipline - A union or any of its officials may not fine, expel, or otherwise discipline a member for exercising any LMRDA right.
Prohibition Against Violence - No one may use or threaten to use force or violence to interfere with a union member in the exercise of LMRDA rights.
