Resolution to YEU Triennial Convention – 2023
RESOLUTION # 2023-B1 TITLE: MONTHLY LOCAL DUES MINIMUM ORIGINATOR: YEU EXECUTIVE LANGUAGE OF ORIGIN: E
YEU WILL change the dollar amount in Bylaw 5.1.A.b from $50 to $200. BECAUSE the amount currently set is only $600 per year and this does not allow Locals to do much more than the minimum for an Annual General Meeting, for example. BECAUSE $2,400 annually will support capacity building and potential to participate in union-related activities similarly to larger Locals.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Concurrence
Non-Concurrence
Carried:
Defeated:
Rationale: The Committee’s recommendation is concurrence. The Committee recognizes that for smaller locals it is very difficult to represent members when there are limited resources to do so and commends the YEU Executive for making this recommendation. The Committee further notes that this change was written into the Convention budget.
