STANDING DECISIONS OF THE GENERAL EXECUTIVE BOARD
1887 February 15—A Union not holding meetings at least once a month forfeits its charter and is not eligible to donations.
2006 UBC Constitution, p86, http://franco1.info/UBCJA/UBC_Con_2006.pdf.
LU157's last meeting occurred Monday, November 15. It is now 34 days since with no meeting having yet occurred in December. Contact all the LU157 E-Board members and the NYCDCC to remind them of this 1887 Standing Decision and to insist that a LU157 meeting be held ASAP, preferably this coming Tuesday, Dec 21, or Wednesday, Dec 22. Call, text, email, and/or fax them today and every day hereafter until we have a LU157 meeting. Having the meeting is not only the right thing to do but also mandated by the UBC Constitution. Let us not allow the LU157 E-Board or Spencer to ignore and violate this provision of the UBC Constitution again as had been done for five months during the LU157 2007 supervision/trusteeship.

spencer did it for a much longer period during the 157 supervision. my question is, does the fact that one of the first acts of a supervision is to suspend all meetings not indicate that the UBCJA does not see union meetings being useful to a local? what is the purpose of a local meeting in the eyes of the UBCJA? how would holding meetings be detrimental to the welfare of that local. what purpose do local meetings have?
